More than 400 fifth-grade students spanning all elementary schools throughout the district recently celebrated the 26th annual “Coming Together Day” to mark the end of the school year as well as meet their future classmates before moving on to their respective middle schools.

During the event, the students sported colorful shirts representing their elementary school and took part in a variety of sport-themed activities. 

“Coming Together Day has always provided students with the opportunity to have some fun and make friends with the same students who will join them at the Oakdale-Bohemia and Ronkonkoma middle schools in September,” explained Mark Dellecave, Connetquot School District director of health, physical education, athletics and recreation.
