Students from the Helping Hands Club at Edward J. Bosti Elementary recently brought joy to the patients at Good Shepherd Hospice by creating heartfelt Valentine’s Day cards. The idea for this thoughtful gesture came from fifth grader Caitlyn Dunne, who recognized how much the patients would appreciate a kind note. Caitlyn’s mother, Jeanne, a social worker at the hospice, helped coordinate the students' efforts, making the project even more meaningful.

The Helping Hands Club, made up of third through fifth graders, meets every Thursday after school. In addition to managing Edward J. Bosti Elementary’s recycling center and donating the proceeds to various causes, the club organizes food and pet drives and supports the school’s PTA with different tasks. The mission of the club is to encourage students to think beyond themselves and make a positive impact on their community.

Students at Edward J. Bosti Elementary welcomed a representative from the Suffolk County Water Authority for an informative presentation on the water they use every single day.

During the presentation, students learned how water is sourced, the impact of pollution on water sources and how it is filtered out of our water. The presenter utilized a simulator, showcasing storage tanks, cesspools and wells, to help illustrate the water cycle.

Students also learned that the older the water, the fresher and cleaner it is! The presentation sparked thoughtful discussion about the importance of protecting our water resources for future generations.

Fifth grade students from across the district in the C-Quest Enrichment Program chose a word that either defined them or chose a word to set a goal for the year.

After choosing their one word, they explored the outdoors, looking for the letters in their word. Using iPads, they photographed the letters then edited, enhanced through filtering, cropped and uploaded them to Google Slides. The slides were then printed, and the letters were cut out and put onto a poster, spelling their word in their environmental print! During their poetry unit, students wrote a free verse poem using their word in their poem.

To start off a unit about structures, fourth graders across the district in the C-Quest Enrichment Program studied the Fire Island Lighthouse. Students visited the lighthouse on a field trip, climbing the tower of 182 steps up and down. They also went on a nature walk to learn about the area, saw the Fresnel lens and participated in a United States Lifesaving Service presentation.

Afterwards, students created non-fiction, informational posters summarizing what they learned on their visit. They also took part in a culminating activity on electrical energy, building a model of the lighthouse which included a working electrical circuit.
