The American Heart Association (AHA) wants you to GO RED on Friday, February 5th for National Wear Red Day to help shine a light on the number one killer of men and women - heart disease.

Companies, community organizations and residents are invited to get creative to make landmarks, main streets, buildings and homes “Go Red” to kick off February’s American Heart Month.

“This is such a simple way to make a difference in our community.

Every red heart, red ribbon or red dress in a store window reminds women, and all of us, how important our hearts are. Heart healthy should be our main priority in February and all year long to prevent our number one killer,” said Dr. Scott Schubach, President of the Long Island American Heart Association Board of Directors and Chairman of the Department of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery

at Winthrop-University Hospital.

In addition to landmarks going red, thousands of employees will participate in National Wear Red Day by donating $5 to the Go Red For Women campaign. In turn, they will receive a red dress pin or wristband, and lifesaving heart health education.

Some organizations will offer heart healthy lunch and learn programs, organize healthy walks, or offer healthier foods in vending machines or cafeterias. To sign up, visit www.wearredday. org or call the AHA at 516.962.0794.

The AHA’s Go Red For Women movement focuses on women’s heart health awareness in February because far too many women are still unaware of the facts that heart disease is their number one killer-killing more women than all forms of cancer combined; or that the symptoms of heart

attack can be different in women vs. men, causing women to delay seeking treatment; or that ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for heart disease or stroke.

This lack of awareness means that more women than men are dying from heart disease and stroke.

Go Red For Women’s goal is to save women’s lives.

The good news is that more than 80% of heart disease events in women can be prevented by making simple lifestyle changes like eating healthier, quitting smoking and exercising 30 minutes daily. The AHA also encourages women to get their “well-woman visit” at their doctor’s office to help detect the early signs of heart disease. Women can get lifesaving information at www.goredforwomen.org and join in the healthy lifestyle conversation at https://www. facebook.com/groups/ AHAMomsUnite/

A pediatrician from Northwell Health will speak at each workshop and also take questions from the audience.

The first workshop will focus on issues such as toilet training, bedwetting and other issues of interest related to children’s urological conditions.

“Parents can feel overwhelmed when it comes to issues such as toilet training and bedwetting,” says Dr. Lane Palmer, Chief of Pediatric Urology at Cohen Children’s Medical Center.

“There are some very simple techniques that can make the process go very smoothly for both the parent and the toddler.”

According to Dr. Reena Nandi, Director of Psychiatric Services at North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, the monthly Positive Parenting Workshop series will provide parents and caregivers with muchneeded information to help raise healthy, happy children.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with such a prestigious group as the pediatricians at Northwell Health, who bring with them deep knowledge of the kinds of issues that parents need to know for their children’s wellbeing,” she says.

Upcoming topics will include nutrition, vaccinations and sleeping issues. A full schedule will be announced in the near future.

A Little Bird

Send Us Your Best Pics To Be Featured

By: Alexandra H. Rodrigues

The little bluebird knew That hard would be the times ahead Impossible nearly to find crumbs of bread Already that little bird was weak When in my garden food it did seek All the other birds by now had flown south Fireplaces lit up in many a house.

I stand outside, hear how the bluebird sings I can see how it flutters with its tiny wings It does not complain Nor harp on any pain.

It still praises the universe with its song Confident that his God cannot do wrong

SUFFOLK ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 3, 2016 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

I would like to care for it and take it in here But it belongs to the outside sphere So I will try to make it stronger Help it to survive a good time longer.

Bird food I got, knowing that bread is not right For the morning I put it out late at night Of a cat that comes around I am afraid Minced meat out of other birds it had made.

“Man & His Dog” - Gardiners Park Photo by: Denise M. Poveromo, Copiague

I had honest feelings for my little bird Which through cosmic waves I think it heard It found a bush where it was safe It took the cold so very brave.

Its singing got stronger Its excursion flights got longer By spring it had proven it would not accept defeat With the flock of from south returned birds it did meet.

A Sunset of Hope By: John McGowan

Christmas is behind and winter is now But a beach at sunset renewed my vow To keep moving forward and not look back There’s good things ahead to keep me on track And if a bad day appears and rears its formidable head I’ll stay in the moment and think good thoughts instead As the sun lowers like a bright nugget of gold I’ll resolve to stand tall, resolute and bold.

While it was consistently and heavily snowing last Saturday and many were cleaning up in the aftermath of snowstorm Jonas on Sunday, Southside Hospital cared for 13 women before, during and after they brought new lives into the world.

To Southside, Saturday was just any other day; it just so happened to be snowing outside. But in

order for patients not to notice any disruption in service or care during a near record snowstorm, it took a great deal of planning from the hospital’s administration and staff.

Before the storm began, Northwell Health advised its staff to make the necessary provisions at their homes so that employees who would be working at the hospital

during snowstorm Jonas could do so without worrying about their personal situations.

As weather forecasters were making it increasingly clear that this snowstorm would have a big impact on the Bay Shore area, Southside Hospital began planning and executing its emergency management plans which were created for natural disasters and have been utilized during occurrences such as Hurricane Sandy.

Southside’s staff stocked up on extra supplies and food to make sure all would be properly cared for during the snowstorm.

The hospital’s leadership began making provisions early in the week to ensure the necessary staff would be at the hospital to care for patients. This included creating an area for staff

to sleep if they needed to stay over to make it to their scheduled shift or if they were unable to safely travel home on Saturday.

Southside employees who slept at the hospital were given a free breakfast.

The employee cafeteria remained open all day Saturday and into Sunday to make sure people were well nourished.

Southside, along with all of the hospitals in Northwell Health, regularly updated emergency first responders and other hospitals about their status throughout the snowstorm through an electronic emergency management system.

Southside also kept in contact with neighboring hospitals, including Good Samaritan Hospital, to remain a resource in case they needed assistance.

BE MORE POSITIVE, HAPPY, HEALTHY & SMART That is what you will learn by reading, Positivity!

Unlike other books regarding happiness, this book builds a foundation on being smarter, obtaining the skills necessary toward gainful employment and managing money successfully. How can a person be happy if they do not have a good job, cannot give a good speech and cannot invest wisely? In the highly competitive world in which we live, a foundation must be built that makes people happy and healthy. The foundation starts with positive thinking and a healthy lifestyle but it should be coupled with continuing education and prowess in accumulating and managing money. This answers the question, how can a person be happy in today’s world.

“Reading Positivity is a game changer for every reader. The unique wisdom and philosophy of life that Harry Edelson shares proves that life can be easy and joyful for everyone. Imagine a world if seven billion people lived by Positivity!

Thank you for sharing this masterpiece. Harry Edelson has figured out true keys to a good life – which is the one common denominator everyone wants. And I know, because I’ve interviewed over 400 of the top CEOs, and I see a lot of wisdom and very successful people…and Harry has truly figured it out. What a gift you offer in this book.”

ROBERT REISS, HOST & CEO, THE CEO SHOW “As Benjamin Franklin said: ‘An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.’ The wisdom in Harry Edelson’s book is like finding a great investment. It continues to grow in value and will pay dividends throughout your life. This is the same philosophy that the brilliant investor, George Soros, has advocated through his Open Society Foundations where I served as a Trustee for many years” JOHN W. ALLEN, INT’L INVESTMENT BANKER AND CHAIRMAN OF GREATER CHINA CORP “The interesting thing about Harry Edelson is that he is usually the smartest guy in the room and what is amazing, the happiest guy in the room. His book tells it all and can be easily absorbed by adults and students alike.”

Narconon Certification

Vrooommm! The sound of the car engine was all I could hear. I just got back from the eye doctor. Not good. I knew that someday I would get them, but now? I was only 3 years-old. I looked at my mom and brother. They were talking, but I could not hear them. My brother might have been thinking, “Now I have this loser brother with glasses.” I bet he would have said something but my mom would not let him. She simply wouldn’t.

Then my mom took her phone out of her pocket and gave it to my brother. I saw him scroll down until the contact for my dad came up. I was starting to hear now, but faintly. My brother hit the “speaker” button on her phone.

“Guess who is going to look even more handsome?” My dad guessed me on the first try.

About five more minutes passed, and we were rolling down a “one-

way” parking lot entrance. I saw these menacing looking penguins out of the few inches of window space I had because I was so short.

They were staring me down, those ugly penguins. I thought how silly I was to think those penguins are menacing. I thought how my eyes might be acting up or maybe the tinted window might be doing it.

I looked up from the seemingly menacing penguins up to the name of the shop. It was called the Eyeglass House. Then we found a spot in the deserted parking lot.

When I walked into the store, it was a room where I half expected there to be gas coming out of the wall like a torture chamber. It was a 6’x6’ room with a hat rack and a 2’x4’ bench. There was another door in front of me. I walked through the door, touching a dry, old, rusty doorknob. I looked to the left and saw two desks and at least 100 pairs

of glasses. I saw a bunch of chairs with a life-sized Mickey Mouse. I took a seat…

“Slay-terry?” an old woman croaked. My mom, Aidan and I stood up and walked over. The old woman had bright purple glasses and nasty, old, ugly, horribly crooked teeth that reminded me of a beaver’s. She picked out three pairs and I disliked all of them. We tried on a green pair that I looked stupid in, a red pair that I liked the best, and heavy, vomit-worthy blue ones that had holes in the rims that kept the glasses on my face.

The holes must have been there to catch a new fashion trend, but the only thing it was catching was strands of my hair.

“I like these!” the nasty lady and Mom said. Moments after, we walked out with me wearing the blue glasses. I guess all stories don’t have happy endings.

“I would like to commend the leadership of the Suffolk County Community College Board of Trustees, President Shaun L. McKay and the Tobacco Free Implementation Committee in making Suffolk County Community College a tobacco free environment,” said Dr. Christopher Adams, vice president for student affairs.

“The policy demonstrates that protecting the health of students and employees is an essential component of a successful workplace as well as a safe teaching and learning environment,” said P.J. Tedeshi from the Tobacco Action Coalition of Long Island.

Approximately 28,200 New Yorkers die prematurely each year because of tobacco. Nearly

a 500,000 New Yorkers suffer from serious diseases directly attributable to smoking, including lung and oral cancers, heart disease, stroke and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Tobacco related diseases add up to $10.4 billion in medical costs annually in New York.

Secondhand smoke also causes premature death and disease in children and in adults who do not smoke. In addition, secondhand smoke immediately affects the heart and blood circulation in a harmful way. Over time, it also causes heart disease and lung cancer.

Indoor and outdoor tobacco-free policies are an important factor in eliminating secondhand smoke exposure.

The Tobacco Action Coalition of Long Island and Northwell Health’s Center for Tobacco Control presented Suffolk County Community College’s Dr. Christopher Adams with the Tobacco Control Champion Award for 2016 for spearheading Suffolk’s college-wide tobaccofree policy that ensures the health and safety of students and employees of the college.

“While the use of tobacco is a personal choice, the health hazards related to smoking and exposure to second- and third-hand smoke are welldocumented and can affect not only the smoker, but also the nonsmoker who is exposed to the smoke,” said Suffolk County Community College President Dr. Shaun L. McKay.

Here’s Hoping By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Hope: A feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen.

And so it begins. February, TOBACCO CHAMPIONS - Pat Folan from Northwell Health’s Center for Tobacco Control, Suffolk County Community College Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. the month of anticipation, from furry groundhogs Christopher Adams, and P.J. Tedeshi from the Tobacco Action Coalition of Long Island.

#WinterWarriors What do sunbathing, spring-cleaning and backto-school shopping have in common? They each have a particular season. But having a place to call home is a necessity, no matter the time of year. That’s why Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk continues building all year long – even in winter’s chilly months.

Habitat’s goal is to build

10-12 homes per year, and volunteers are how this goal is achieved.

Habitat Suffolk is inviting everyone to join the Habitat Suffolk #WinterWarriors campaign.

Volunteers who work at job sites twice during the period of January through March will receive a special Habitat Suffolk #WinterWarriors

t-shirt for their efforts.

Volunteers with three or more build days will receive a $25 gift card to the Suffolk ReStore!

Register today by visiting w w w. h a b i t a t s u f f o l k . volunteerhub.com and sign up through the online system for upcoming walkon build days at multiple build locations.

predicting the forecast to expressions of love and affection come Valentine’s Day. Is there anyone who isn’t even the slightest bit glad to bid January farewell?

Apologies, once again, to anyone with birthdays, anniversaries and other notable milestones during this first month of the new year, the symbolic representation of all things new and fresh. With the possible exception of the few moments of New Year’s Eve celebrations which spilled over into the next morning, I have to

say that, for me, 2016 is severely lacking in positive spin.

Sure, winter has spared us its wrath for the most part…save for one tiny twofoot helping of the white stuff. Still, the bitter cold and gray, overcast skies leave something to be desired.

There is only so much hibernating and vegetating one can realistically do.

(Netflix, anyone?)

But here we are, turning the page – on the calendar and hopefully on life – as month two begins, providing us with yet another blank canvas to fill. Here’s to getting back to doing those things which make us happy, to not allowing the negativity of other individuals and situations dictate our moods, to rising above the monotony in search of fulfillment.

Here’s to hoping that February provides the perfect precursor to spring, and all the beauty and wonderment it brings. Plus, we have an extra day to take advantage of this year, a bonus opportunity if ever there was one. Now all we have to do is make use of it, and of all those clichéd philosophies we want so badly to believe in.

Whatever it is you are hoping for, may you have the courage to go after it. Good things come to those who wait; but a pointed step in the right direction surely doesn’t hurt. Here’s to February, to frosted windowpanes and picturesque winter sunsets and the beginnings of revitalization. Oh, and of course Buddy the Betta’s 1st birthday. Priorities humans, priorities.

Regional Kickoff through goals in the opposition’s tower. During the final twenty seconds of the game, robots may surround and scale the tower of the opposing team in an effort capture it to earn another 15 points each.

Immediately following the game reveal broadcast, the visiting teams received pertinent competition details, a first-hand look at the game field, and were handed their build kits, which contain motors, batteries, a game “boulder”, an AndyMark brand parts kit, construction materials and software program login details, along with

limited instructions.

“Leading up to the main competition, FIRST Long Island students will work with coaches and mentors to apply concepts of math, science and engineering to build their robots,” explains SBPLI FRC Co-Directors David Johnson and Debra Winter. “The FIRST Robotics Competition is not just about the design and build of sophisticated robots, our students will also learn important concepts such as teamwork, problem solving

and healthy competition. Over the years, FIRST students from Long Island received more than $8 million in scholarships for higher education, in areas of science, technology, engineering, business or math in college.

These students also develop maturity, professionalism and teamwork skills that enrich their lives. Our graduates often pursue careers with sponsoring companies, meeting the businesses’ needs for well-rounded, technically skilled employees.”

FIRST isn’t limited to Long Island; more than 3,100 teams from all over the world came together as a community to share in the excitement of seeing the new game unveiled and will draw on this enthusiasm during the six-week build period that is available. During this time, all FIRST students will be asked to design, build, test and update their robots before the start of the 2016 season, which includes 118 Regional and District events beginning in March. These events measure the effectiveness of each robot’s design and control, the power of teamwork and the determination of participating students not only to win, but to learn and have fun.

The 2016 FRC Kick-off was sponsored

by NASA and NVIDIA® and broadcasted by NBCUniversal.

Please visit FRC’s Youtube Channel to watch the “Stronghold” game reveal video. For more information on SBPLI or the FIRST Long Island Robotics Competition, please visit www.sbpli.org. Those who plan to participate in the 2016 FRC are encouraged to read the full list of rules.

SUFFOLK ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 3, 2016 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

The Stony Brook University Jacob Javits Lecture Center was abuzz with anticipation on Saturday, January 9th, as students, educators and families from across Long Island joined together for the unveiling of the 2016 FIRST® (For the Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition (FRC) “Stronghold” theme. Based on popular medieval castle-conquering and battlestrategy games, “Stronghold” involves two Alliances of three robots each on a quest to breach opponents’ defenses, calculate their movements and ultimately overtake their tower.

Presented by School-Business Partnerships of Long Island (SBPLI), this annual event served as the official KickOff of the 2016 FIRST Long Island season and included a live broadcast of the game reveal direct to the Javits Center. Hundreds of eager Long Island FIRST students and their parents and coaches listened with rapt attention as FIRST Founder Dean Kamen, FIRST Executive Advisory Board Co-Chair Woodie Flowers and FIRST President Donald Bossi discussed the program as well as the 2016 theme and objective.

“One of the amazing things about FIRST is that everyone involved gets more out of it than they put into it,” said Dean Kamen, president of DEKA Research & Development and FIRST Founder. “The kids get opportunities they’d never get elsewhere; it might give them career options they’d never thought about. The teachers see kids who become passionate about learning and the relevance of technology and math [...] We get to be part of a group that is creating the future of the world.”

The rules of this year’s game are simple: robots gain points by incapacitating defenses and scoring boulders

RIGHT TO THE POINT - Fifth-grade students in Chris Warren’s art classes at James H. Boyd Intermediate School learned about optical color mixing and its relationship to pointillism. Using this knowledge, the students worked collaboratively to recreate George Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte. The entire painting is made of red, blue and yellow dots and is displayed on the wall in their school. Photo courtesy of: Elwood Union Free School District

Exploring Energy As part of their unit on sound energy, students in Erica O’Connor’s secondgrade class at Washington Drive Primary School in the Harborfields Central School District created musical instruments using items around their house and recycled materials.

Students brought to school materials for their instrument and assembled them in class. Some of the instruments the secondgraders made included drums, maracas and guitars. Once they finished their instrument, students completed a “how to”

worksheet to explain the steps they took to create their instrument.

The following day, students united as a class to form the “O’Connor Rock Band.” Together, they sang, “This Land is Your Land,”

by Woody Guthrie while playing their instruments.

DAY AT THE OPERA - Organized jointly by Italian teacher Craig Butler, the Italian Consulate in New York City and the Italian American Committee on Education, students in the Italian classes at Harborfields High School participated in a trip to Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater where they saw the final dress rehearsal for the opening of Giacomo Puccini’s classic opera Tosca.

PARP Kickoff students to enjoy. During the PTA’s “Once Upon a Book” performance, students watched their parents and teachers play the part of classic storybook characters including Cinderella, Snow White and her dwarfs, Goldilocks, Prince Charming and Sleeping Beauty.

Infused with some popular riddles and song melodies, the story followed each character as

he or she shared with the audience the importance of reading and some of their favorite books to read.

In the end, Principal Maureen Kelly, playing the role of Little Red Riding Hood, stopped the Big Bad Wolf, played by Assistant Principal Tara Falasco, from stealing all the characters’ books and all the characters were happy to once again have their books to read.

Discussing Citizenship As part of the third-grade social studies curriculum, students at James H. Boyd Intermediate School in the Elwood Union Free School District are learning about the rights and responsibilities of being a citizen in the United States. To help further explain the concept of citizenship, Suffolk County Legislator Steve Stern visited students and led a group discussion on the topic.

Prior to the presentation, third-graders discussed what it means to be a citizen, learned about the three branches of government and people of authority in the government that help create laws. During the session, Legislator Stern explained the types of responsibilities citizens have, the importance of voting and ways to be a good citizen at a young age such as recycling and being

respectful to their family members. He also shared the duties and obligations he has a legislator.

To conclude, students participated in a question and answer session with Legislator Stern.

He encouraged the thirdgraders to share any ideas or concerns they may have with him and passed out an information sheet with his phone number and email address.

Parents Learn to Play To help strengthen the home-to-school connection, parents of students in the orchestra program at James H. Boyd Intermediate School in the Elwood Union Free School District participated in a hands-on lesson that demonstrated the fundamentals of playing a string instrument during the music program’s inaugural Parent

Orchestra Night.

During two evening sessions in January, parents tried their hand at playing the violin. Led by teachers Karen Gellert and Diana Gotzen-Berg, parents were instructed on how to properly hold a violin and learned about the different parts and strings of the instrument.

They were taught how to play four different strings

and learned to play four musical pieces.

The following week, parents performed in a mini concert for their children.

“Now these parents have a better understanding of some of the basic techniques employed by their children in playing their instruments, and ultimately can help them with their practicing,” said Gellert.

ABC News Nightline co-anchor Byron Pitts will deliver the keynote address at the Town of Huntington’s 29th Annual Black History Month Celebration, scheduled for Thursday, February 4th, at Jack Abrams STEM Magnet School in Huntington Station, beginning at 7 p.m.

Mr. Pitts is an awardwinning journalist – including multiple Emmys and the National Association of Black Journalist’s Journalist of the Year citation for 2002 – who has traveled around the world to cover some of the biggest news stories of our time, including reporting from Ground

Zero after the 9/11 attacks (which resulted in one of his Emmys), the Florida presidential recount, the tsunami in Indonesia, the refugee crisis in Kosovo and the Boston Marathon bombing.

Mr. Pitts joined ABC News in 2013 after 15 years at CBS News, where he was chief national correspondent for the CBS Evening News and a frequent contributor to 60 Minutes. At ABC, he has been anchor and chief national correspondent, covering national news stories and in-depth features. He was named Nightline co-anchor in 2014.

As impressive

as his professional accomplishments are, Mr. Pitts also has a powerful story to tell about overcoming two serious obstacles to achieving his longtime dream of becoming a journalist. He was functionally illiterate until the age of 12 and struggled to overcome a stutter. Mr. Pitts chronicled his journey in a 2009 memoir entitled, “Step Out on Nothing: How Faith and Family Helped Me Conquer Life’s Challenges.”

A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Mr. Pitts graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University, where he studied journalism and speech communication.

21

Keynote Speaker Set He currently lives in New York City.

The Black History Month program will also feature a performance by the Voices of Huntington, a choral group that is comprised of members from the Evergreen Missionary Baptist Church, Faith Missionary Baptist Church, Joshua Baptist Cathedral, Bethel A.M.E. Church,

Love of Christ Fellowship Church, Mt. Calvary Holy Church of Huntington and Cornerstone Baptist Church.

The group performs gospel music and features dominant vocals, often with strong harmonies.

The celebration will be followed by refreshments.

The public is invited to attend,

Jack Abrams STEM Magnet School is located at 155 Lowndes Avenue, Huntington Station.

For the fifth consecutive year, the Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School physical education department in the Harborfields Central School District hosted its Fifth-Grade Charity Volleyball Tournament with all proceeds this year benefiting a family in the district who has a child battling cancer.

To register for the tournament, each of the 190 fifth-grade students paid a nominal fee of $5 that allowed them to participate in several volleyball matches with their fellow classmates.

To help supplement the funds collected, the Tunney family, a family in the district, generously matched each child’s registration fee.

Through gracious contributions from the TJL physical education department, faculty and community members, a raffle was held, which allowed the entire school to contribute to this special cause. Some of the prizes included sport equipment packages, gift cards for Dunkin Donuts, GameStop, Besito Mexican Restaurant and Old Fields

Restaurant, and students entered for a chance to win a pizza and bagel party for their class.

Through the collaborative efforts of the school community and the Tunney family donation as well as raffle tickets and concession stand sales, TJL School raised nearly $6,000 to help the Wrede family defray medical costs for their child. At the end of January, Mrs. Kerri Wrede met some of the students who participated in the tournament and thanked them personally for all their efforts.

The Little Mermaid St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School has announced that their Spring Musical for this year will be Disney’s The Little Mermaid.

St. John’s will be the first Catholic High School on Long Island to perform “The Little Mermaid,” as its rights were only recently released. Opening night is scheduled for March 4th but there is already a sense of excitement among

the students, faculty, and staff. “We are very excited to perform Disney’s The Little Mermaid on stage!

Our directors, actors, dancers and singers are practicing with great enthusiasm and looking forward to providing their audiences with their very best performances!” stated Principal Nan Doherty.

The Musical Producer, Mr. Vincent Whitfield, also expressed his excitement

over the production, “St. John the Baptist DHS is both pleased and excited to present the full stage version of Disney’s The Little Mermaid.

This wonderful story of love, sacrifice and family will take us on a journey from a prince’s ballroom to the exciting world that exists “under the sea!” We invite you to join us for this family experience with beloved songs, special effects, and

delightful characters.”

Two seniors, Miranda Cooper and Jillian Graffagnino, have been dual cast in the role of Ariel. When asked about being dual cast as Ariel, the two seniors stated,“It is very exciting to be playing the role of Ariel together.

We are so impressed with everyone’s hard work and commitment so far and can’t wait to see the show come together.”

Historically, St. John’s has enjoyed a rich tradition of success with their Spring Musical. Several St. John’s graduates have gone on to perform in major productions all of over Long Island, on Disney’s Cruise Lines, and on Broadway. St. John’s performers are annually nominated for a variety of different Teeny awards, have received nominations to the prestigious

Gershwin Awards Program in New York City, and have participated in the National High School Music Theatre Awards.

All are invited to come out to see St. John’s production of The Little Mermaid at 7:30 p.m. on March 4th, 5th, and a 2 p.m. performance on March 6th.
