April Board of Education Meeting
Thank you to the community for coming out on April 8 for our monthly Board of Education meeting. This month, it was a privilege to hear from our Goosehill Primary students, who voiced their “loudest and proudest” reciting the pledge of allegiance! They regaled us with all they do at their school and shared photos of so many wonderful events. It is always a pleasure and highlight of the evening to hear from our students. The Board recognized many accomplishments and honored students with certificates for their exceptional dedication to academics and athletics....

Districtwide ART Exhibits
District office currently has a fabulous showcase of student artwork K-12 – please stop by to see our student artwork posters! There are examples of advanced drawing and painting, landscapes, digital mosaics, fashion and more… At the Jr./Sr. High School, Studio Art classes were inspired by color wheels with acrylic paints, and 2-point perspective works in watercolor, pencil and oil pastels. Grade 8 created abstract Frank Stella designs, and the Gottschalk Gallery has an amazing display inspired by our recent Literary Luncheon Author visit, with sea life inspired by her book Remarkably Bright Creatures. Please stop by! At Goosehill our youngest tried their hand at Frank Stella abstracts and Paul Cezanne still lives. The halls are covered with these bright and creative young masterpieces. Thank you to all for continuing to share your talents! And don’t forget – the CSH Library Student Art Exhibits continues through the month of April!

CyberHawks Team 2875 Ranks 3rd in Albany!
Congratulations to the CyberHawks Robotics team who ranked #3 at Regionals in Albany! After 84 qualification matches at Albany the team held a record of 8-1. Advisor Jeffrey Ramirez shared, “This tied with our best individual team ranking set back in 2017. Following qualifications the team became the 2nd alliance captain in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the team went 0-2 in the playoffs and finished 7th overall. This meant that the team was not able to qualify for Houston this year. Although a disappointment for us all, we were all incredibly proud of our performance, this experience and the opportunity we all shared.”

Students Teach Smart Choices SWWATAV / SADD Clubs
Each year, students from SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and SWWATAV (Student Waging War Against Tobacco and Vaping) visit the elementary schools, with Club Advisor, Karen Uhl-Smith. Together they engage in student-to-student peer discussions on the benefits of a drug-free life. Topics included the dangers of vaping, drinking, smoking, and prescription drugs, as well as the importance and understanding of good decision-making skills and refusal skills. Club members (who range from grades 7-12), prepare presentations, demonstrations, and Q&A sessions for grades 5 and 6 at both West Side and Lloyd Harbor school. Looking up to and learning from older peers, who only a short time ago roamed the halls of these elementary schools, was quite powerful for these elementary students. These club members make such a difference in the lives of the younger students to ease their minds about any myths they may have heard and for bringing their knowledge and skill sets to our younger students.

Polar Plunge
Thank you to everyone for taking the Polar Plunge on Saturday March 29 – including our very own Superintendent Joseph Monastero. Each year, this event is held at Lloyd Harbor Beach and is sponsored by the CSH Marine Biology Club. The club members, along with their advisor Erin Oshan, never expected the day they chose in March would turn out to be a sunny (nearly 80 degree!) day. The air may have been warm, but the water was still freezing! So thanks to all the brave participants. Ms. Oshan shared, “All the money raised goes directly to the NY Marine Rescue Center in Riverhead where they rehab sick seals and sea turtles found on LI shores.”
