The elementary schools were all privileged to take part in the Remembrance Bowl celebrations! This K-12 curriculum initiative was a cross collaboration districtwide. Age-appropriate lessons were held for Goosehill students who learned all about the American Flag and how important it is to show respect for the symbols of America. They also engaged in art projects across the curriculum and learned all about the universal symbol of remembrance, hope, and resilience represented by the red poppy flower. Lloyd Harbor and West Side schools participated in numerous lessons, grades 2-6 and had the privilege of hosting our Remembrance Bowl French Dignitaries, honored guests, board of education members and administration for a grade 6 assembly explaining the “why” behind the game being played on U.S. soil for the second time in history right here in CSH! The students learned the significance of this historic event, and listened as many details were shared to help them understand.
Certain stores in life are meant to never be forgotten, and this is one of them… What exactly is The Remembrance Bowl? Yes, it is a football game that will be played on Friday September 27 at CSH during Homecoming. But it is so much more than a game! The Varsity Boys Football Team vs. Island Trees will be hosting, playing and honoring a historical 1944 football game – “The Game That Never Happened,” (also known as the Champagne Bowl) because our soldiers were called to fight in the Battle of the Bulge. Last year, CSH was honored to be invited by Locust Valley and participate in the first ever state-side high school Remembrance Bowl revival game, with many French dignitaries in attendance.
