To offer experience and business insight, Sachem alumna and creator of the original Liana’s Buffin Muffin came to visit Mr. LoGiudice’s Food Trends and Baking & Pastry classes at Sachem High School North to talk about healthy eating and smart baking. During the visit, she spoke about her personal challenges with body image as a teenager and how she turned those experiences into a passion to create a product, brand and business.
 
In addition to her presentation, students got to watch Liana demonstrate making her Almond Joy Energy Bites, enlisting the help of a few junior bakers – Daniel Collins, Jonathan Giraulo and Aaron Ramirez. Afterward, everyone got to try different types of healthy baked goods from The Hummus Fit/Buffin Bakery brand accompanied by a Q&A session with Liana.

Members of Sachem High School North’s Carpentry Career Training Program have continued to lend their skills and talents to create shed buildings at our elementary schools. To date, the students and their teachers have built sheds for Cayuga, Hiawatha, Nokomis and Wenonah.

The initiative started to promote the program to the younger generation, while also cultivating a sense of pride for giving back to the district. The sheds are built in the classroom and taken apart in panels to be reassembled on site.

“We couldn’t have done this without the support of administration and others, but a big shoutout goes to the grounds department for preparing the sites and lugging the shed panels to the various locations,” Grant Gustavsen, technology education teacher, said. “We look forward to future projects around the district.”

Students at Sachem High School North are using Tower Gardens as a classroom tool. Recently, Mr. Logiudice's food trends classes and Ms. Frosina's horticulture classes grew two towers of basil for a cooking lesson on pesto. The Tower Gardens are used all year long to grow various greens for use in both the general education cooking classes and the essential kitchen skills classes.

In addition to using the Tower Gardens, Mr. Logiudice's classes have planted in the outdoor garden at High School North for a hands-on learning experience about growing their own food.

Sachem high school students individually packed hundreds of boxes of food to help feed local families this Thanksgiving. The student governments at both East and North held food drives leading up to the holiday, collecting items to create a full Thanksgiving meal. Each high school packed more than 400 boxes of food, totaling more than 800 holiday meals to be distributed. The donations went to Sachem families in need, and any leftover boxes were donated to the food pantry at Suffolk Independent Living Organization in Medford, Lighthouse Mission and the Town of Brookhaven to help feed those in the surrounding community.
