Communication Board Installed at Wenonah Playground

Communication Board Installed at Wenonah Playground thumbnail262182

As October marked Augmentative and Alternative Communication Month, students and staff at Wenonah Elementary School learned and celebrated the different ways that people communicate. The building’s speech-language pathologists led several activities and lessons for students to participate in. Additionally, a brand-new core board was installed near Wenonah’s playgrounds. The board was generously donated by recent Wenonah retiree Eileen Rosenthal and is meant to help all students feel heard and included, regardless of their differences and how they communicate.

Twenty-two of Sachem’s most talented fourth grade musicians shared their creativity at the Suffolk County Music Educators Association’s Parents, Educators and Kids Music Festival at Northport High School on Oct. 26.

 

The PEAK Festival is an opportunity for fourth grade musicians to experience music activities while allowing parents and educators to join them in the fun.  Approximately 215 students from 24 school districts were represented during the PEAK Festival where they participated in several workshops exploring areas such as world drumming, folk dance, music games, body percussion, Spooky Beats, Drumtastic Alive and chorus. The festival culminated with a student performance that showed off their creative input and musical talents.

 

“PEAK provides students, parents and music educators a unique experience participating in workshops and performances together,” said Jennifer Fischer, Cayuga’s music teacher and co-chairperson for the PEAK Festival. “The smiles on the faces of all of those involved during the performance speaks volumes about the festival.”

Halloween Spirit in Sachem thumbnail262017

Halloween spirit was in the air across Sachem as students and staff members dressed in costumes and participated in many activities. High School East and High School North kicked off the festivities on Oct. 30 by holding “Safe Halloween” events. Elementary students were invited to visit their future high schools in their costumes to trick or treat. High school students helped run the event, handing out candy and volunteering at activity stations.

On Oct. 31, several elementary schools held parades for students and staff members to show off their costumes to families and friends. Students marched around the bus circles of their buildings, spreading their Halloween spirit.
