To round out their social studies unit on types of communities, second graders at Idle Hour Elementary created their own urban, rural or suburban landscapes. Each student was asked to choose a community they could envision themselves living in and creatively bring it to life in the form of a model. They utilized the writing process to generate a script about what one would find in their specific community, using vocabulary words they’d learned in the unit such as gridlock and livestock. Whether they chose an urban, rural or suburban landscape, each student implemented unique touches such as sparkling lights, aluminum foil towers, water bottle skyscrapers, real sand and more. They presented both their display and oral presentation to their parents and visitors.

This month, several Connetquot High School students participated in regional SkillsUSA competitions in a variety of vocational skill categories, earning scores that qualified them to compete at the state-level in Syracuse. SkillsUSA students hone hands-on skills against current industry standards in more than 130 occupational areas, from 3-D animation to welding and many areas in between. At the same time, they develop transformative career-readiness skills, including teamwork, communication, professionalism, leadership and more to fuel their success. Congratulations to the following students who qualified in the following SkillsUSA competition events: Ava Cregg (Action Skills Teaching Competition), Hannah Elramly (Crime Scene Investigation), Alexa Hernandez (Senior Cosmetology), Molly Murphy (Marine Technology) and Emma Thom (Health Knowledge Bowl).

On May 2, the Freestyle Connection BMX stunt team visited Cherokee Street Elementary School to share their thrilling tricks and positive messages. Students lined the playground’s blacktop as the riders performed their first trick, a high-flying ramp jump. Students and faculty members were wowed by their seemingly- effortless stunts, cheering with excitement as they watched every daring move. In between the exhilarating freestyle stunts, owner and rider Jon “The Duke” Dowker spoke to students about bicycle safety, making healthy lifestyle choices, accomplishing goals and building character. He emphasized that “BMX” stands for “be anything you want to be,” “make positive decisions” and “‘X’ out negative things” such as tobacco, alcohol and drugs in exchange for positive things.
