Connetquot High School’s World Language Honor Society hosted Dantedì, a day of Italian culture, celebrating Dante Alighieri, the father of the Italian language.
Juniors and seniors in the World Language Honor Society hosted the event while freshman, sophomores and even middle schoolers came to visit and experience the various cultural and educational stations. In the library, students played an Italian version of “The Price is Right”, received Italian temporary tattoos and face painting, played Italian slang trivia and built replicas of the Leaning Tower of Pisa using LEGOs.
In the auditorium, students entered gladiator school, learning how to fight like a gladiator, and learned traditional moves from “la tarantella”, a famous southern Italian dance.
One classroom transformed into “la cucina Italiana” where students prepared food demonstrations and tastings of traditional Italian cuisines. In another, students made brightly colored masks in preparation for the Italian celebration of Carnevale. Lastly, students made their way to a station of student-performed skits, honoring “The Divine Comedy” by Dante Alighieri.

Idle Hour Elementary students from kindergarten to fifth grade participated in the school’s Makerspace Fair on March 20. The goal of the fair was to encourage and strengthen students’ science and engineering skills. Students were encouraged to upcycle items they already had and create a new function with them. Students had the opportunity to work independently or collaboratively on their projects. After working incredibly hard on their projects, students shared them with one another during the day on March 20, then again with parents and the community later that evening. Great job to all who participated!

Connetquot High School seniors Varshith Basa, Victoria Douglas, Devin Elster and Rhea Shetty each scored higher than 1500 on the SAT exam. This impressive accomplishment earned the students spots in the school’s “1500 Club,” and their plaques will join those of alumni club members, hanging outside the guidance office. The district congratulates them on this well-deserved achievement!
