One of the tenets of the National Junior Honor Society is to give back to the community, as was the intention of Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School’s recent collection of dog and cat food, pet toys, treats, leashes, collars and paper towels for the Francesca’s Furry Fundraiser for the Kent Animal Shelter in Calverton. Because of the National Junior Honor Society’s generous donations, their furry friends will be provided much-needed essentials.

During the Dec. 13 Connetquot Board of Education meeting, students received honors for special accomplishments achieved during the summer and the current semester of the 2022-2023 school year. 

Four eighth grade students were honored for making a perfect score when taking their first New York State Regents Exams, including them as members in the Superintendent’s 100 Club. Tessa Dolinger, Nadia Radi and Chase Reilly made a 100% on their Common Core Algebra 1 Regents Exams, while Declan Doran made a 100% on the Physical Setting/Earth Science Regents Exam. 

Science Research students were also honored for provisionally discovering an asteroid that makes a marginally close approach in orbit to Earth, using the Pan-STARRS telescope located on Haleakala (Maui). The students will have to wait until a couple of orbits have been completed to confirm that it is actually a new object. The research students are Zohayr Adnan, Alex Biondi, James Domozych, Amelia Gobetz, Severino Roderick and Lacy Stich. 

Several Connetquot High School students completed a summer internship program with local businesses as part of a school to work program. Director of Business and Social Studies Robert Cassagne said the program is a way for students to learn to be professionals and to find ways to succeed in the business world. Students honored included: Carrie Euceda-Luna, Megan McDougall and Amber Rogers-Wakefield who worked with supervisor Sandy Leon-Hoitsma of Leon Early Childcare Center; Kaylee Diaz who worked with supervisor Therese Panetta-Young of Panetta Physical Therapy, Isabella Kaspiev who worked with Edward Kotak Jr. of The Quintessential Experience; Ayaan Shaikh who worked with supervisor Madalyn Moeller of Clear Vision Optical; and Tyler Tripi who worked with Chris Coluccio of Techworks Consulting, Inc. 

The Connetquot Central School District congratulates these students on their outstanding accomplishments.
