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.

Goosehill was blessed with sunshine and warm weather for outdoor and indoor play stations for a second round of a K-1 “Global Day of Play.” Once again, Principal Cosme was instrumental in spearheading the day, welcoming student Youth Ambassadors from the CSHEF along with Dr. Beth Chase and Dr. Kerry Vujeva and the Social Action Committee, who led the charge interacting with students as peer mentors. Due to the grant the CSH Educational Foundation (CSHEF) approved and secured over the winter, Goosehill was able to participate in two Global Play Days this year for K-1 students! They encouraged our youngest to “just play” in an unstructured, spontaneous environment without screens or adult direction, as they rotated through different stations while meeting many new friends. A huge shout out to the GH SIT and GHPTG boards, and the CSH Educational Foundation (CSHEF) for approving a grant to support Global Play Day!...
