Each year, Applebee’s sponsors an “Above & Bee-yond Teacher Essay Contest” where four deserving teachers from Long Island are chosen to receive a $500 sponsorship check for their classroom AND an end-of-the-year party hosted at Applebee’s restaurant! When West Side School student, Josephine Pologruto (grade 6) learned about this contest she knew she had to nominate her band teacher Ms. Roddin! At the West Side morning assembly on May 6, Ms. Roddin received a surprise ceremony honoring this amazing award, and she was completely caught off guard and humbled. Thank you to Superintendent Joseph Monastero and K-12 Music Chair Jim Guarini for joining Dr. Barnes at the ceremony. Josephine Pologruto was very proud to read her winning essay and to present the plaque, balloons and flowers to her teacher. Ms. Roddin shared, “It is an absolute privilege working with the students and faculty at West Side.” Congratulations Ms. Roddin – we are all humbled by your dedication and devotion to your students...

On April 21, teachers Ann McLam (Art) and Morgan Milleisen (Tech) visited “A Step Ahead Prosthetics” in Hicksville along with a group of 8th grade students. Head Prosthetist, Founder and CEO Erik Schaffer along with his daughter Jessica (Marketing Specialist) gave the students a tour of their facility which included fabrication, casting, software and training. All their fabrication is done in house and provides services for individuals all over the world. Anaplastologist, Melissa Schaffer set up a casting experience for our students and explained how she uses silicone and paints to mold and match skin tones exactly creating realistic skins to wrap prosthetic devices. Amy Winters, Ultramarathon Athlete, Guinness WR holder and amputee spoke to our students about her personal experiences and about empathy for those with limb loss.
“May is a milestone month for seniors, as they finalize college decisions and prepare to take their next steps,” shared Director of Guidance Jeannette Alomia. “We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2025. This group of students has distinguished itself through academic excellence, creative achievements in the arts, powerful performances in athletics, and most importantly, through their generosity, leadership, kindness, and collaborative spirit. As they leave Cold Spring Harbor to begin new journeys, we send them off with our warmest wishes for happiness, fulfillment, and continued success!”
