Sachem H.S. Freshman Academies As the 2018-2019 school year approaches, both Sachem High Schools East and North welcomed the incoming classes of 2022 with a morning of informative presentations and interactive activities aimed to familiarize new freshmen with building layout and academic opportunities as part of the newly implemented Freshman Academy.

At Sachem High School North, following a day of hands-on workshops and team building group sessions, Sachem alumnus Chris Vaccaro welcomed the incoming freshmen as he highlighted opportunities available to students and notable alumni that thrived as

Sachem students. The freshmen were then introduced to members of the Peer Mentor Club, who will be providing assistance throughout the year.

Peer Mentor Club members answered questions about the freshman experience and what to expect as they begin high school.

Freshmen at Sachem High School East were welcomed by building administrators before being introduced to the Project Happiness initiative, which was implemented as a key component of the building’s culture last year.

Students were then led on guided tours to multiple key locations throughout the building that they will

visit during their time as high school students.

Randomly assigned student groups then participated in six twentyfive minute workshops that further explored the main principles of Project Happiness, mindfulness and meditation techniques; how to easily access building information and what events and clubs are available to students.

In addition to the annual freshman orientations, the new Freshman Academy experience serves as a hands-on, discussionbased introduction to each high school that engages students in activities with their peers.

Competitive Grant Funding

Longwood Central School District is proud to announce a competitive grant award from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) in consultation with the New York State Education Department for the Empire State After-School Program (ESAP).

The four-year grant initially designates $800,000 for the first year for a total award of $3.2 million.

Authored and secured by the Assistant to the Superintendent for Administration Mary

D. Richardson, in partnership with Family Residences and Essential Enterprises (FREE), the grant will provide 500 students in grades 5-12 opportunities for academic enrichment and support.

The program includes youth development activities; nutrition and health education; drug and violence prevention programs; physical fitness and wellness programs, and opportunities for families to have active engagement in their child’s education.

“This award aligns with the objectives of our

Board of Education and District Administration to promote student advocacy and empowerment to make informed decisions based on the guidance and support from adult mentors,” said Dr. Lonergan, Superintendent of Schools. “I am pleased that this grant will enable us to provide a rich array of academic, recreational, cultural and social enrichment activities that will emphasize college and career readiness, as well as community service projects.”

Sachem High School East hosted the Scholastic Education Long Island Literacy Leaders’ Institute on August 15th, which provided 150 educators from numerous school districts across Long Island with a plethora of professional development opportunities.

With more than 50 Sachem teachers in attendance,

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kenneth Graham offered a warm welcome to all attendees before Elizabeth Oakes-Lani, an account executive from Scholastic, explained the agenda for the day’s enriching activities. The breakout sessions covered literacy topics including classroom culture, educational approach, 21stcentury learning skills,

independent reading and how to effectively harness the power of families to support learning.

At the conclusion of the day-long event, participants had the opportunity to reflect on the topics covered and engage in a questionand-answer period with esteemed presenters.

While my last three columns have been vignettes of one sort or another – from birthday beginnings and numeric significance, to desktop mementos and the memories associated with them, to a flashback of my origins within the pages of the old Lindy hometown weekly – this one, well, this one leaves me at a bit of a loss for words.

My career, this portion of it, has been largely defined by my ability to transcribe a feeling on paper, to relate to readers from all walks of life by telling stories – of my life, of my surroundings and my observations of the people within them. Always, though, the idea was to find a common thread, a unifying theme.

Change. It is the one constant.

A perfect theme for this transitional transcript, don’t you think?

Over the last several weeks, I have received countless letters from fans, family, friends – even a few detractors – most of whom were avid followers of my writing, all of whom wanted to take the opportunity to wish me well on the next phase of my journey.

Lenny Kravitz Spreads Love Through Music

By Allison Kugel Twenty-nine years after releasing his debut album, Lenny Kravitz is still letting love rule. The multi-Grammy award winning musician brings forth a conscious body of work with his latest album, Raise Vibration, out September 7th.

Musically, Raise Vibration is an eclectic blend of the kind of stylistic rock n’ roll-funk sound that Kravitz is known for, with subtle nods to vintage R&B and choruses that sway towards pop appeal. His music puts you in a trance-like groove and defies all genre.

Allison Kugel: You’ve said you were born to make music. Can you share your earliest memory where you became aware that music was going to be your life?

Lenny Kravitz: For me the pivotal moment was going to see The Jackson 5, live at Madison Square Garden, when I was six years old. I was in the first grade. I had already been intently listening to their record. But I went to the show, and the next morning that was it! I was completely sold. I knew that’s what I wanted to do.

my favorite place to work; it’s my workshop. When I’m in the studio and I’ve got my equipment and all my instruments and everything is set up, that’s the magical place for me. It’s where I can flow. I jump around from instrument to instrument, and it’s wonderful.

It means having the desire to learn, to improve, and to face my faults and learn from them. I’m always looking to go higher. And taking as much ego out of myself as possible.

Allison Kugel: Do you record all of your instrumentals in addition to doing your vocals and producing?

Lenny Kravitz: I believe that God is my creator, our creator. Whether we realize it or not, I believe we are all created by the same God. I believe we are all one creation, we are all connected, and I believe that God is the ultimate source of love and all we are looking for.

Lenny Kravitz: Yes. I start on drums and then I go to a guitar, a bass, another guitar, keyboard, percussion… I keep layering as though I was painting, until my picture is complete.

Allison Kugel: Your upcoming album is called Raise Vibration and the first single, It’s Enough, is a call-to-action anthem about political corruption and social and racial injustice. Was writing It’s Enough a form of therapy for you, and a way of turning hopelessness into empowerment?

Lenny Kravitz: The music that was made by these kids was not elementary; it wasn’t bubble gum, as they used to say back then about young artists. This was sophisticated, high-level music with the best musicians, the best producers, and [Michael] was one of the best singers who ever lived and who ever will live.

It was a perfect storm for me, the way everything came together. On top of the music, the presentation and showmanship were top level and soulful, and these were people that I could identify with. They looked like me. I had the same hair… there were so many things that came together in my mind.

Allison Kugel: It’s interesting to hear you say that. My son is half Jewish and half Jamaican, and he does the same thing. He tends to gravitate towards people he sees on television, in film, and with music, who have his skin tone and his hair.

Lenny Kravitz: Yup! I have the same background, except I’m Jewish and Bahamian.

Lenny Kravitz: I react to the world.

I actually recorded the song twice.

I was trying to find the direction for the record. The way the song started, the first version of It’s Enough was a full-on guitar, bass, drum, punk rock song. It had an angry tone, because that felt like the proper reaction. And then I thought about it and ended up changing it and finding this groove, which is the polar opposite of how it started. I found that by being calm and centered, and by being quiet, it was more effective. It brought out a whole new feeling in the song, and I think it enables the listener to hear the lyrics even better.

Allison Kugel: When and where do you feel most creative and musical?

Allison Kugel: What does the title of your album, Raise Vibration, mean to you? And how do you raise your vibration? Do you meditate or pray?

Lenny Kravitz: It could be anywhere, but it’s [typically] in the studio.

My studio is in the Bahamas. It’s

Lenny Kravitz: It means exactly that; waking up. I meditate, I pray, I try to be still, I try to be quiet… and listen.

Allison Kugel: I always say that when I enter a room, I never walk alone because I can feel the presence of God beside me; as well as my great grandparents, my grandparents, my parents, siblings and my son. I walk into a space with the energy of those who made me who I am. When you enter a space, who walks beside you?

Lenny Kravitz: God is with me at all times which I am always aware of.

And the energy of my mother, of my grandmother, of my grandfather.

My daughter (actress, Zoe Kravitz), who is here with me on this earth, is always with me. Like you said, knowing that and knowing that spirit is far superior to anything here. The physical presence is wonderful, and something that we require and crave as human beings. We’re spiritual beings living a physical experience, but as you say, you recognize that you have these people with you and it just shows how strong spirit is and how strong energy is. My mother’s (the late actress, Roxie Roker) been gone for twenty plus years, and I can still feel her every day.

Allison Kugel: Your music transcends genre. It’s a blend of rock, punk, blues, soul, pop; it’s everything. You can’t categorize it. I remember seeing a television clip of you from Oprah’s Master Class, where you tell the story of sitting in class as a young boy and you didn’t know which box to check off on a piece of paper asking you to identify your race. Everyone’s life has a spiritual theme. In your case it seems to be an ongoing theme where people want to put you in a box and label you, and you railing against that.

Lenny Kravitz: People love a box (laughs)! They want to put you right in it, so they can easily define, for their own comfort, what you are. I’ve been fighting against that from day one in my life, and in my musical life. Going back to that time in school, I knew I was black, but I knew that wasn’t all I

was. I knew I was also Russian Jewish, and I knew that my great grandmother was full-blooded Cherokee Indian. My mother always taught me, “Yes, you’re black, but you’re just as much this and you’re just as much that. Don’t discount that.” If you’re mixed, like me and like your son, you don’t discount one of your parents. You’re just as much one as the other. But, what my mother did say to me when I was a child that I think was very smart, and I didn’t realize it until I got older, was, “Even though you’re mixed, society only wants to see you as black.” I didn’t understand that at age seven.

Allison Kugel: Did you feel diminished by it at the age of seven?

Lenny Kravitz: From what I recall, I remember thinking, “What does that mean?” Of course, as I grew and went through life, I understood what that meant. People aren’t going to see all the complexities and differences.

People are going to see what they see, and that is the color of your skin. That was a very good lesson once it kicked in. I was like, “Okay, people don’t see everything for what it is.”

released, what will that day be like for you?

Lenny Kravitz: When I’m finished with an album, I’m at that place where I let go and I’m excited that I’m finished. It’s always exciting getting a new project out. I hope the people who enjoy my music will get something beautiful from it and will relate to it. The main thing for me is that I expressed myself authentically to who I am, who I was at that moment in time, and that it represents me well. That to me is everything. That’s a success.

Allison Kugel: Speaking of kids, how would your daughter Zoe describe you, both as a man and as an artist?

Lenny Kravitz: Oh wow! We’re very, very close. I think she would say that I have respect and integrity, and love in my heart. I think as a musician, she respects what I do. She’s grown up around it.

If you worked on-site at the lab for 250 workdays between 1947 and 1993 for Associated Universities, the AEC/DOE, or a subcontractor, or were a researcher living on-site at Brookhaven National Lab, and were later diagnosed with one of 23 specified types of cancer, I will help you, or direct survivors, get a six figure entitlement award. Awards range from $150,000 to $400,000, and include worker medical benefits, including home health care. This is a taxpayer funded entitlement for DOE workers/survivors. It involves no liability to any employer and is not a lawsuit.

Since 2007 I’ve done this nationally for 3,000 sick DOE workers or their survivors. I have helped more than half of the 928 paid BNL families receive their cancer awards. Non-cancer respiratory and renal disease cases are also possible. Let me ask a few simple questions. I’ll give you a frank (and free) assessment as to whether I can help. I’m not a lawyer and this is no lawsuit. I am a national expert on EEOICPA entitlement. I unravel the frustrating red tape so you don’t have to. You get paid directly by the U.S. Treasury. My fee is so modest L.I. lawyers hire me to do the work for their own family members. No appeal fees. No fine print.

Marching Band Camp The Connetquot High School marching band recently concluded their annual summer camp on August 10th after spending a week mastering a series of visually stunning and well-rehearsed routines.

The camp is designed to help young marching band performers expand their skillsets, as drum majors, color guard members and marching band instrumentalists learned from outstanding

performers and teachers alike during the weeklong program.

“This year’s summer program consisted of 200 campers spanning grades 9-12 and included veterans of this year’s award-winning group along with district teachers and mentors,” said marching band director Greg Johnson.

“The students have worked very hard all week and the student-leaders have been outstanding.”

This year’s performance schedule includes invitations to the Columbus Day Parade in Manhattan, the Newsday Marching Band Festival at Hofstra University and the QVC Christmas Parade in Westchester, Pennsylvania.

The Connetquot High School marching band and color guard perform at all home football games as well as the annual Homecoming football game.
