Polar Bear Plunge
This year at the fall “Beach Clean Up” community service event with club advisor, Ms. Erin Oshan, some of the junior high students jumped in the waves and said, ”We should do a Polar Bear Plunge this winter to raise money to support local organizations!” This student driven event took hold, and became a reality sponsored by the CSH Marine Biology Club, and together they made it happen! Ms. Oshan shared, “All proceeds were evenly split between the NY marine rescue center which rehabilitates sick turtles, seals and other marine mammals that find themselves stranded on our local shores and 4OCean which is removing tons and tons of plastics from our global waters.”

Light Up Your Circuit! STEAM Week at Goosehill
First grade students were so excited to “Light Up their Circuits” in the Creative Learning Lab with Library Media Specialist, Marissa Urso. Gathered around tables to engineer their very own “light up greeting card” by building their own circuit, the students were wide-eyed at the wonder of their creations! They learned LED stands for Light Emitting Diodes that glow when powered, and they watched their LED stickers do just that! Most made a Valentine card, others rendered creative designs, and kids and parents alike were fascinated in this mini-challenge of designing their very own STEAM activity!
