RECOGNITION/PUBLIC RELATIONS
Students

Chloe Williams, an NPMS eighth grader, is attending the Junior Presidential Youth Inaugural Conference (JrPYIC) in Washington, D.C. During her time at JrPYIC, Chloe is traveling around Washington, D.C. and learning about the inaugural process. Her experience culminates with her viewing of the inauguration firsthand. “JrPYIC provides high-achieving alumni of the Junior National Young Leaders Conference (JrNYLC) and the National Young Scholars Program (NYSP) an opportunity to witness the responsibilities of leadership while commemorating a truly historic event - the presidential inauguration. Through interaction with congressional staff, national journalists, leading decision-makers, renowned scholars and military leaders, JrPYIC scholars receive direct experience and guidance that cannot be found in textbooks.” (JrPYIC website)

Schools/Programs

Stony Brook School
Winter Holiday Feast: Jennifer Ferraino and her second and third grade students held their first Winter Holiday Feast on January 13. The class had been exploring winter holidays around the world, by examining various climate, beliefs, folklore and traditions found in other countries. Students experienced the wonder and excitement of the celebrations through a wide variety of multi-sensory activities, including shared readings and construction of an interactive display highlighting the origins, traditions and histories of winter holidays around the world. The feast represented their culminating activity in which families cooked recipes of traditional holiday foods. The sampling of foods included Russian Honey Spice Cake, Deep Fried Wonton Cookies from China, Gingerbread Men from Germany, Poppy Seed Cookies from Czechoslavakia and Chicken and Rice from Nigeria. The children placed one shoe out in the hallway only to retrieve it later to find an International Holiday Bag filled with treats and surprises.

Reading Incentive Program: "Reading Is a Hoot" is the name of the latest reading incentive program starting at Stony Brook School. Upon entering the building, visitors are greeted by a three foot, winter owl covered in feathers and "hooting" students to read. Each classroom proudly displays its own owl also covered in feathers. Each of these feathers contains the name of the book read by each student. The numbers of books being read is very impressive as are the students doing all the reading.

East End School
On January 8, the PTA provided East End first grade students with an in-class workshop entitled Amazing Adaptations. The students learned animal behavior and enjoyed the experience. All grade levels will engage in a workshop before the end of the year which is aligned to the science curriculum.

“Where in the World is Rosie,” one of East End School’s reading incentive programs that is aligned to the school’s geography building objective, is off to a great start. Students are reading and completing the compass rose. Rosie grows and grows each day which indicates how many books the students at East End have read.

The reading incentive program, “Race to the Continents,” sponsored by Allison Longley, media specialist, is also underway. Students read a book and use the Accelerated Reader program to answer questions. So far, two classes have already accrued 100 points. Students are motivated to read as they race from continent to continent.

Plans have been underway for the Presidential Inauguration on January 20. The school community is assembling in the gymnasium to witness the swearing in of President-elect Obama as well as listen to his speech. An LCD projector will enlarge the image on a television for all to see, and the sound system in the gym will allow everyone to hear. Students have been encouraged to wear red, white, and blue to demonstrate their spirit and pride for our country.

Gifted and Talented Education Department
Einstein is Alive? On Tuesday, December 2, 2008, the second, third and fourth grade Inspiration students along with their teacher, Janet Darvin, attended a theater production at the Morris Museum in Morristown in which they explored ways that Albert Einstein's thoughts and discoveries are still "alive" with all of us. The show titled, "Einstein Alive!" presented a "living Dr. Einstein" by explaining Einstein's thoughts about relativity and perception of thought through song and dance. Dr. Einstein explained theoretical physics and made these concepts come alive through clever demonstrations. The group particularly enjoyed Dr. Einstein removing his suit vest without taking off his overcoat
