Pre-K Initiative

vocalist, will win a cash award in the amount of $500 each. There will also be cash awards for the 2nd ($200) and 3rd ($100) place winners, in both the instrumental and vocal categories.

The Metropolitan Youth Orchestra of New York (MYO) is committed to fostering a community of talented young musicians from Long Island and providing them with an opportunity to rehearse and perform orchestral and choral masterworks at the highest possible level with recognized leaders in music education and performance. Founded in the fall of 1993 by John C. McNeur, MYO has grown from one orchestra of fifteen members to seven orchestras, a flute choir, and seven choral ensembles, serving over 990 young musicians between the ages of 8 and 18. For more information, please visit www.myo.org or call 516.365.6961.

At this time of year, parents are registering their four-year-olds for kindergarten in the fall.

They may be asking themselves “will my child be ready?” Answers to that question can be found in a one-page handout from the Long Island Pre-K Initiative. This free resource lists the top 20 skills that kindergarten teachers expect on the first day of school. It can be downloaded from the grant-funded program’s website: www.nassauboces. org/pre-k, and is available in Spanish, Urdu, Turkish, Chinese and HaitianCreole, as well as in English.

“We surveyed more than 100 kindergarten teachers from 10 Long Island school districts,” says Lucinda Hurley, Executive Director of the Nassau BOCES Department of Strategic Initiatives and administrator for

the Long Island Pre-K Initiative. “And there was clear agreement. What educators call ‘socialemotional skills’ are very important.”

That means that kindergarteners should be able to share and take turns, express their feelings in words and participate in a conversation without interrupting, among other abilities. It is difficult for learning to take place when children have difficulty getting along with each other - or can’t sit still long enough to listen to a story being read. Also on the list: pre-reading skills; everyday skills, such as using the bathroom by themselves; and being able to identify numbers and colors.

The Long Island Pre-K Initiative survey was conducted in the spring of 2015. The teachers came from the following 10 school districts: Amityville, Franklin

Square, Harborfields, Levittown, Long Beach, Middle Country, North Merrick, Valley Stream #13, Uniondale and Wyandanch. Some survey questions were based on an earlier survey of teachers in Westbury that was conducted by The Early Years Institute.

The Long Island Pre-K Initiative is a grant-funded project that seeks to strengthen relationships between school districts and community-based organizations, and to share information about research, policy and best practices for early learning.

Administered by Nassau BOCES, it is supported by expertise from The Early Years Institute and funds from the Rauch and Hagedorn Foundations.

Its partners are the Eastern and Western Suffolk BOCES and the Child Care Councils of Nassau and Suffolk.

The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small aquaculture businesses and most private nonprofit organizations in New York of the deadline to submit disaster loan applications for economic injury caused by the apartment building fire on April 10th.

The deadline to apply for a working capital disaster loan is February 19th.

“Businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the disaster and want to apply for low-interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before the February 19th deadline,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA Field Operations Center East.

My First Blizzard Winter is coming. Winter is coming. So the humans have been saying for the last three months, and yet… only now, in the final week of January, have I gotten to witness firsthand this magical white stuff in action.

And what a beauty it is, even from the confines of my tiny betta bowl.

Swirling snowflakes, blowing through the air, piling up outside my window to the outside world… and my human, fervently shoveling out her electric blue car – what a fine color it is, I might add – as the wind whips across the parking lot.

But still, the opportunity

to hibernate with my human for an entire weekend, to have her undivided attention while we relaxed together and watched Netflix on the couch – that was priceless.

We just finished Season 1 of House of Cards and I’m already, excuse the pun, “hooked.”

I must admit, I didn’t understand the obsession with scouring the stores for every last container of milk, carton of eggs and loaf of bread at first. But then I realized the horror of not being able to make French toast for an entire day, and I understood the magnitude of such a storm and the havoc it could wreak on the masses. Just the thought of a day without flakes was

enough to drive my fins into a frenzy.

Add to that the hazards of commuting, and it’s no wonder humans have so much anxiety at the first forecast of a flake. Me, I have trouble navigating around my plant when the water gets a little cloudy.

I have the frayed fins to prove it.

I understand this may be only the beginning of the winter weather. So far, not so bad. I’m just keeping my fins crossed that there are no major storms headed this way for February 16th – my very first betta birthday in my human’s home. I expect a big turnout for my party… and presents… and extra flakes of course…

Just not of the snow variety.

Third in Nation

THE LAST SHOT SUBMITTED BY: HAMID UMAR, GRADE 6, BAY SHORE MIDDLE SCHOOL

Suffolk County Community College’s Cheer Team placed third in the nation at the UCA & UDA College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championships last weekend.

The competition, the most prestigious college cheerleading championship in the country, was held at the Walt Disney World® Resort’s ESPN Wide World

bring home the title!”

“We are very proud of the cheer team’s outstanding performance,” said Suffolk County Community College President Dr. Shaun L. McKay. “The College community congratulates our student athletes for this tremendous accomplishment and the recognition they have earned for the team and our college.”

I had to cross the opponents over, and then I was about to shoot from the three-point line.

I felt the rough rubber material with a flick of my wrist.

The ball was slowly rolling around the rim, acting like it didn’t want to go in.

You could see the bright orange color of the ball.

It went in and made a swooshing noise.

The whole crowd cheered.

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.”

In the middle of the game, the score is 28 to 30.

Our team is losing by three points.

When the game starts, our team gets the ball first.

My teammate passes me the ball; the opponents are jumping on top of me.

They smell like smelly socks, and you can hear the dribbling noise of the ball as it is bounced on the ground.

Kickoff Event The Helen Keller National Center for DeafBlind Youths & Adults (HKNC) jump-started its annual Helen’s Run/Walk this week with a kick-off breakfast at its Sands Point

headquarters.

Dozens and dozens of community residents and participants from previous years gathered to brainstorm and collect registration materials

for this year’s Helen’s Run/Walk, which will take place on Sunday, April 17th, at the Sands Point Preserve. Words of inspiration were provided by HKNC Assistant

Program Coordinator Maricar Marquez, followed by insights on getting healthy and motivated from nutritional health counselor and Sands Point resident Sara Siskind.

HKNC Executive Director Susan Ruzenski and HKNC Development Officer Marina Carroll also thanked everyone for lending their support to make this year’s

fundraising walk the best yet. For information on participating in or sponsoring Helen’s Run/ Walk 2016, please visit www.helenkeller.org/hknc.

to fund roughly half of the student’s tuition while the parent/guardian is asked to contribute the remainder.

The STAR donor-student relationship is a special one it consists of correspondence between the student and the donor throughout the school year. This relationship is unique in that the donor can see first-hand how their generous contribution directly helps their STAR student to thrive in Catholic elementary school.

The Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation orchestrates a number of charitable events during the course of each year including a Gala social event in the spring, a golf outing in the fall, and a holiday event around Christmas. This year, there will even be a new event, the St. Joseph 5K Fun Run for Tomorrow’s Hope, on March 19th.

Building on the success of their inaugural event last March where over 350 runners participated, the St Joseph School in Garden City announced that this year’s race will benefit Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation. Running on a 5K circuit through the

flat, fast, tree-lined streets of Garden City, the race will be professionally chip timed and is USA Track and Field Certified. Appropriate for both serious runners, and for those who just want to come out and have some fun while supporting this worthwhile cause, the event will offer a post race festival with a DJ, face painting, refreshments and age category awards for the 5K. There will also be a 1-mile untimed fun run to allow every child to finish. Every child in the fun run will receive a prize.

All ages and levels of fitness are welcome in this family friendly event. For more information or to register, go to www.sjspta.com/run. html or e-mail questions to run@sjspta.com.

If you are already a supporter of Tomorrow’s Hope, thank you! If you are interested in helping children develop strong spiritual values in preparation for life’s journey, you can find information at www. tomorrowshopefoundation. org.

Tomorrow’s Hope Catholic Schools Week where they will discover that the Church and the schools are as interested in making their Catholic school dream come true as they are. On your visit, you will discover that tuition is actually quite reasonable and that there are multi-child discounts and other incentives to further reduce that cost. You will also discover that many Parishes and schools have scholarships and grants available to help offset the cost of tuition, and that there is a foundation on Long Island that raises money specifically to help families that desire a Catholic education but cannot afford it. That foundation is called the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation.

The Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation was established in September 2005 as a taxexempt, non-for-profit public charity with the purpose of ‘ensuring the excellence as well as the continuance of Catholic elementary schools on Long Island by increasing awareness and by providing scholarship and program funding for the needs of students and

schools. Business leader and philanthropist Lewis S. Ranieri was appointed

by Bishop Murphy to chair the foundation. As chairman, Mr. Ranieri put together a prominent board of professionals, business leaders and diocesan administration with the goal of raising money from individual and corporate donors and providing tuition assistance for deserving families and students.

Over the past ten years, the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation has served the Long Island community by providing parents with the opportunity to choose the education that best fits the needs of their children without the worry of financial constraint.

With generous support from private and corporate donors, the Foundation has proudly served over 17,000 students, providing awards totaling nearly $20 million towards scholarships, and allowing them to attend one of Long Island’s 47 excellent Catholic elementary schools.

Tuition assistance through Tomorrow’s Hope is available to all families

who show a financial need, regardless of ethnicity or religious affiliation. Not surprisingly, the applicants for Tomorrow’s Hope assistance are from a variety of different backgrounds that represent the diversity of our Island. The common thread is a desire for an education of the whole child, in mind, body and spirit.

Tomorrow’s Hope supporters come from every walk of life, and they donate in a variety of ways; directly, where any amount large or small is appreciated, they donate through matching programs offered by their employers, and they bequeath portions of their estate to help fund Catholic education. The program that gets the most feedback, however, is the STAR Program. The Student Tuition Assistance Relationship (STAR) Program identifies students in high need of tuition assistance and matches them with a generous donor - a ‘STAR’ who contributes tuition assistance of $2,000 a year. Although tuition varies across the Diocese, this program is intended

Pope Francis summed up the Church’s commitment to education when he said, “Our generation will show that it can rise to the promise found in each young person…. This means that we have to create the material and spiritual conditions for their full development; to give them a solid basis on which to build their lives; to guarantee their safety and their education to be everything they can be…”

Today, the “material and spiritual conditions” the Pope referred to are embodied in 47 beautiful elementary schools here on Long Island. Each school provides the safety and nurturing atmosphere that assures children they matter, that they are loved, and all of the schools strive to work with every student to help them achieve all they are capable of achieving. Yet some parents who desire the extraordinary results of a Catholic education still hesitate because of concerns about costs.

Families who would like to consider a Catholic education are encouraged to visit a school during

Councilman Cochrane - a Navy veteran - has spearheaded the Town’s efforts to better serve those who have protected our nation. One of the latest programs is the PFC Joseph R. Dwyer Project, a PTSD support service group aimed at helping veterans cope with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The program, which began in 2015, has met with success and praise by the veteran community.

“PTSD impacts many

veterans returning from overseas deployments and can have a serious and detrimental effect on their lives,” said Councilman Cochrane. “This is a unique program that can make a real difference and provide support to those who have sacrificed so much.”

The PFC Joseph R. Dwyer Project, run by the Veterans for Veterans organization, can be reached at 631.672.1201, or via e-mail at vetpeertopeer@ suffolkcountyny.gov.

Local Author Welcomed Connetquot Central School District’s Edward J. Bosti Elementary School C-Quest 5th graders recently invited local author and Connetquot High School Class of 1988 graduate Patrice Domozych to talk about her books, her craft and to help students develop their writing skills.

During her presentation, Domozych spoke about her new book, “Hope is

Here to Stay,” which tells the story of 12 year old Lauren Loose’s battle with pediatric cancer and Lauren’s efforts to help others fighting the same illness.

Using drawings, a slide show and her book, Patrice talked about Lauren and the other children who face serious challenges in their lives. She also talked about Lauren’s First and Goal Foundation, which

provides financial and emotional support for families whose children are affected by pediatric cancer.

More than $800,000 has been raised toward the goal of finding a cure for the disease.

C-Quest Advisors Mrs. Lisa Manzo and Mr. Kevin Keane thanked Mrs. Domozych for visiting, encouraging the students’ writing efforts and sharing Lauren’s story.

Teens for Jeans The Town of Islip Youth Bureau and their youth service agency, Youth Enrichment Services, have once again joined forces with local school districts to collect jeans for the national “Teens for Jeans” Campaign.

The Islip Youth Bureau is encouraging residents, community and school groups and businesses to support the Teens for Jeans campaign by donating new or used jeans in good condition (any size) at one of Islip’s local drop-off sites between January 29th and February 26th. The locations of the drop off sites are: • Town of Islip Youth

Bureau, 401 Main Street-3rd Floor, Islip • Central Islip High School, 85 Wheeler Rd, Central Islip • Islip High School, 2508 Union Blvd, Islip • James Wilson Young Middle School, 602 Sylvan Ave, Bayport • Sayville Middle School, 20 Brook St, West Sayville Statistics show that roughly one million young people experience homelessness in North America. One of their most requested items are jeans.

When someone enters a homeless shelter, they often don’t have more

than the clothes they are wearing.

Last year, 80,000 young people in the U.S. signed up for Teens for Jeans, collecting over 800,000 pairs of jeans. Town of Islip participants contributed over 2,200 pairs. Your kindness and compassion will help clothe men, women and children who are in great need.

Connetquot School District’s Connetquot High School Anti-Bullying Club students and advisors recently posted thousands of colorful Post-It notes with positive messages in hallways and classrooms as part of their annual Positive Post-It Monday.

The students’ idea was to bring smiles to the faces of students, teachers and

staff members throughout the school, and to spread warmth as winter really kicks in. Not only did each student receive his or her own Post-It note, but many students shared their positive messages with their friends.

Examples of the positive Post-Its included: Be Proud of Who You Are; Don’t Let Anyone Dull Your

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN (Never know to fail) Oh most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart, to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh show me herein you are my mother.

Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3x) Holy Mother, I place this cause in you hands. (3x) Holy Spirit, You who solve all problems, light all roads to that I can attain my goal. You, that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory.

Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine.
