Holocaust survivor and world-traveling author Marion Blumenthal Lazan visited Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School.

During the PTA sponsored presentation, Ms. Lazan shared her firsthand experiences as a child interned with her family in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.

Her message to the students focused on the values of determination, perseverance, faith and hope. She encouraged students to be kind to one another, especially on social media. Many students left the presentation with a signed copy of her memoir and valuable keepsake, “Four Perfect Pebbles: A Holocaust Story.”

On March 14, Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School held a Pi Day fundraiser, raising money for the school’s K.I.N.D. Program.

In preparation for getting “pied”, Principal Mr. Piombo, AP Mrs. Black, Board President Mrs. Mallon, and members of the school’s faculty and staff wore plastic ponchos, shower caps and goggles as they took their seats on a tarp-covered bench. During their lunch periods, students were invited to donate dollars in exchange for whipped cream pies. Students had a great time throwing the pies at the faculty and staff, all while raising money for a great cause: the K.I.N.D. Program or “Kids Inspiring a New Direction”

The mission of the program is to inspire, empower and educate all students to lead a life of kindness and to support one another to become a catalyst for positive change, not only at the middle school, but in the world. The Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School K.I.N.D. Program is student driven and puts on events throughout the school year such as P.S. I Love You Day, Career Day, monthly kindness challenges and more. Overall, the successful and fun Pi Day fundraiser raised $1,100 for the program!
