The federal and state governments have mandated that all school districts implement a breakfast program for students. Based on a survey of Jericho School District sent to parents of children currently enrolled in K-5 in the Cantiague and Seaman elementary schools, the district is requesting an exemption from the breakfast program for these schools for the 2017-2018 school year. The results of the survey indicate that more than 80 percent of those responding would not use the program. The George Jackson Elementary

School had a pilot breakfast program for the first six months of 2008-2009 school year. The average daily participation was 10 for the six-month period, thereby granting Jackson School exempt from the breakfast program. If any parents have questions or concerns regarding the request for the one year exemption, please contact Mr. Victor P. Manuel, Assistant Superintendent for Business, 203-3600 extension 3214, or Tracy Gilet, Director of Food Service, extension 3258.

Dear Parishioner: During the past year we have continued to grow as a community of love and faith in God. We have witnessed our faith being expressed not only in our Sunday Eucharist but also in the very spirit and tone of the parish; a warm love that reaches out to each other. We are about to share in the liturgy of Holy Week which enables us to celebrate in a very sacred way the great gift of Jesus Christ the Eucharist, His death and His resurrection. Our prayer and wish for the parish is that this Easter will bring us all a deeper awareness of our faith in God and our need to “love one another.” Peace in Christ, The Priests, Sisters and Staff of St. Ignatius Loyola Parish

Deer Valley, Utah is Skiers’ Only Paradise with Retro, Refined Vibe

Park City is a veritable skiing metropolis so close to Salt Lake City (35-45 minutes drive), it may well be considered the suburbs rather than this vast Nature’s playground. Not only do you have Park City and Canyons (now combined under the Vail Resorts OneParkCity banner, making it the largest ski resort in

the United States), but literally next door is Deer Valley Resort. Deer Valley Resort is one of the only ski areas in the country that is skiers’-only (Alta, Utah is another). This makes for an old-school, European, retro atmosphere – dare we say dignified? sedate? quaint? As a skier, you don’t have that constant frantic feeling when you hear the looming scrapping sound building

in intensity as snowboarders, tearing up the mountain, come upon you, like Jaws. You don’t have that hip, counter-culture vibe that tends to surround snowboarders. It is frankly more peaceful, calm, quiet. Deer Valley has a deserved reputation of being ultra-luxurious - there are uniformed ski valets to help you with your equipment, parking lot shuttles, free overnight

ski storage, groomed-to-perfection slopes, fine dining experiences in three day lodges, complimentary tours led by Mountain hosts and limited lift ticket sales so that the slopes are never crowded. It feels less like a resort and more like a country club. It also offers luxurious on-mountain accommodations – See page D2

Deer Valley, Utah is Skiers’ Only Paradise with Retro, Refined Vibe Continued from page D1

indeed, Deer Valley is the home of the world-famous, five-star Stein Ericksen Lodge (www.steinlodge.com) which has held the title of “World’s Best and United States’ Best Ski Hotel” as well as the St. Regis Hotel, a Starwoods hotel, which is accessed by its own funicular from the parking lot. Yet, to our eye when we visited during the last couple of weeks of the season, it seemed unpretentious. Or perhaps that is just because of the relaxed feeling that pervades. Deer Valley affords 2,026 skiable acres over six mountains (about the size of Killington and Pico, Vermont, combined), six bowls, two chute areas. It offers a vertical rise of 3,000 feet to the

highest summit, Empire, at 9570 ft. The longest run is 2.8 miles. There are 21 lifts including a high-speed gondola, 12 high speed quads, one fixed grip quad, five triples and two doubles. Of Deer Valley’s 101 trails, 27% rated “easier”, 41% more difficult and 32% most difficult, making it ideal for families, new skiers and skiers of all abilities. It is a snowy, foggy, generally wet day when we visit, but that doesn’t interfere with the enjoyment. Here too, the mountain is so vast, first-timers to the resort need directions to get to the peak you want to ski if you are particular (I am still working out my confidence issues, especially when visibility is a factor). A mountain Ambassador helpfully maps out for us where we will find the peak with the

best selection of intermediate trails to get me started. That’s Flagstaff Peak, where we head. Eric has exchanged his snowboard for skis – skiing for the first time in years – and immediately leaves Sarah and me in the proverbial “dust.” After a few runs, Eric and Sarah go off to the more challenging Empire Peak (summit at 9570 ft., highest among Deer Valley’s six peaks), with only blue and black trails from the summit. The Empire lift offers some wonderful intermediate tree skiing (not very steep, trees are nicely spaced), so Sarah, who had never skied through glades before, gives it a try. She absolutely loves the experience -- it’s so quiet and peaceful in the trees, and the snow tends to be the softest on the mountain. It really feels like it’s just you and the mountain.

I continue to get my rhythm on Flagstaff (summit at 9100 ft.) with a delectable selection of blue and green trails. We meet for lunch at the Royal Street Café in the Silver Lake Lodge – a full-service restaurant with a lovely firepit in the middle, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and après ski from 11:30 am to 8 pm. The menu is delightful – creative American and international casual cuisine. Our waiter, Alex, makes some marvelous suggestions and we start off with Fresh Dungeness crab tower, made with fresh crab from Washington, avocado tomato crispy spiced wontons, and sauces is wasabi, soy and sweet chili. Sarah and Eric share a Maple Bacon BBQ Bison Burger, made from scratch and served with smoked habañero cheddar,

Hop On Down to a Happy Easter! BY CLAIRE LYNCH This year Easter Sunday is on April 16, about a month after the start of spring and when most Long Island schools are closed for the Passover and Easter spring break. I really enjoy it when Easter falls on a nice, warm spring day. Sometimes we have an early Easter dinner outside, surrounded by flowers that have bloomed and decorate the area. We cook the traditional leg of lamb and have some roast potatoes and grilled asparagus with it. We also have a tossed green salad and tall glasses of iced tea complete with slices of lemon and sprigs of mint. The cold drinks look delicious and so does our entrée. We complete the meal with a dessert of various homemade pies and some coffee. Later, when we go back inside the house, my family checks out the big Easter baskets that have been placed on the dining room table. There’s one for each of us and even though they look so pretty wrapped in cellophane and tied with bows, some of us hastily open the wrappings and enjoy the candy chicks, the chocolate rabbits, the dyed eggs and more. We save some for the next day since we are pretty stuffed from our delicious dinner and besides, we want to have a treat the next day and maybe the following day, too. Feeling the spring breezes that are welcome after a couple of blizzards this past winter, we enjoy some good conversation and each other’s company. Where I grew up in Rockville Centre, we had a dogwood tree that stood on the lawn of our house and every Easter morning, when we were all dressed up and ready to go off to church at St. Agnes Cathedral, my family and I would pose

for a picture in front of that tree. It had usually blossomed by then (unless Easter was really early in March) and looked beautiful. That dogwood tree was the only one we had. We had plenty of oak trees and maples and cedar trees in our back yard but in the front yard the dogwood stood proudly and majestically alone. Now that I am adult I realize how precious that dogwood tree was not only on Easter Sunday, but all the time. After we took our family photo my dad would inevitably tell the story of the dogwood tree and its symbolism on Easter. This story of the dogwood tree (which is a legend that may or may not be true) has been told for years and passed down from generation to generation. This beautiful little tree explodes in white blossoms each spring and is one of many people’s favorite blooming trees. The legend holds that the tree was once very large and because its wood was strong and sturdy, it provided building material for a variety of purposes. According to the story, it was the dogwood tree that provided the wood used to build the cross that Christ was crucified on. (southernhistory.blogspot.com) Because of its role in the crucifixion, it is said that God both cursed and blessed the tree. It was cursed to forever be small, so that it would never grow large enough again for its wood to be used as a cross for a crucifixion. At the same time, however, the tree was blessed so that it would produce beautiful flowers each spring, just in time for Easter. The most unique part of the legend is that the petals of the dogwood actually form the shape of a cross. If you look closely, it can be seen that the blooms of the tree always have four petals. In the center is a part of the flower that

symbolizes the crown of thorns that was placed upon Jesus Christ’s head. The tips of each of the petals are indented, as if they bear a nail print. Finally, the flowers of the dogwood tree by Good Friday of each year bear unusual red spots that appear on the beautiful white petals. These are said to represent the crucified Christ. The Easter Egg Roll in D.C.: April 17 is the 139th annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House which is the first Easter Egg Roll for the President Donald J. Trump administration. It has long been the custom to have it on a Monday, the day after Easter. This year President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have invited about 35,000 guests to join them on the South Lawn. Participants are represented from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Admission is by ticket only. The Easter Egg Roll runs from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. (whitehouseeastereggroll.com) Each child who participates in the Easter Egg Roll is given a commemorative wooden Easter egg signed by President Trump and the First Lady, according to reports. For a family to attend, they must have at least one child 12 or under. Kids use large serving spoons to roll

hard-boiled colored eggs on the lawn during the Easter Egg Roll. There are lots of additional activities for the kids including sports courts, the story-time stage, the cooking stage, egg dyeing, a yoga garden, crafts, musical groups and more. According to the White House Historical Association, First Lady Dolley Madison, the wife of President James Madison, is the person who originally proposed the idea of a public egg roll around 1810. There are also accounts of informal egg rolls staged by the children of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. The 1878 event hosted by Rutherford B. Hayes on the South Lawn, however, stands as the first official White House Easter Egg Roll. (history.com) The tradition quickly grew in popularity. Presidents regularly watched from the South Portico as families ate picnic lunches on blankets and children played games such as “toss and catch” and “egg picking,” in which they knocked eggs together to see which would crack first. In 1887 President Grover Cleveland personally shook hands with each of the children in the East Room, which afterwards was left littered with crushed See page D12

Divorced Couple Hits the Social Security Jackpot BY TOM MARGENAU

Today’s column illustrates yet another example of a situation I had never encountered in my 45-year career of working on Social Security issues. And this time it’s the story of two very different Social Security rules intersecting and leading to a bizarre circumstance that allows some lucky people to milk the Social Security system out of unintended benefits. It all started with this email I got from a reader. Q: My ex-wife and I are both about to turn 66. We were married for about 35 years before getting divorced. Neither of us has remarried. We each have worked most of our lives and are due similar Social Security retirement benefits. We have remained friends and would like to maximize our benefits. I am planning to continue working indefinitely. Can my ex-wife “file and restrict” on my account even though I am not yet receiving benefits? A: At first, I was going to simply respond, “Yes, she can,” and be done with my answer. But then I got to thinking through your situation and realized that you guys have hit the Social Security jackpot. Each of you will be able to claim spousal benefits off of the other’s record and save your own Social Security benefits until 70 and get the 32 percent bonus that comes from that delayed retirement maneuver. And in order to show you how this all works out, I’ve got to explain the mechanics behind two different Social Security rules and how they come together in a weird way to help each of you. First, I will discuss the “file and restrict” rule. The law normally says that if you file for any kind of Social Security, you must take your own benefits first. Only after your own retirement is paid, can you look to a spouse’s record to see if you are due any additional benefits on his or her account. But if you wait until age 66 to claim benefits, you can ignore that law. You could file for dependent benefits on your spouse’s record and claim 50 percent of his or her full retirement age rate for the next four years and then, at age 70, switch to your own full benefit plus the 32 percent bonus that goes along with delaying your retirement benefits until 70. (I also must remind my readers that the file and restrict strategy is going away. It only applies to people turning 66 before 2020.) The only stipulation to employing the file and restrict tactic is that your spouse must be collecting Social Security before you can claim dependent benefits on his or her record. And this is where a second unrelated law comes into play in your case. The second rule I need to explain is what is called the independently entitled divorced spouse law. As alluded to in the prior paragraph, a husband or wife

can’t get any benefits off of his or her spouse’s record until that spouse is collecting benefits. But the law has always been different for divorced spouses. For example, a wife can get benefits on her ex-husband’s record even if he hasn’t filed for benefits himself yet. He must be old enough for Social Security (meaning he has to be over age 62), but again, he doesn’t have to be collecting benefits. Here is the reason that law was passed. The law assumes that a married dependent wife can rely on the husband’s income for support until he actually retires and files for Social Security himself. But the law can’t make that same assumption for a divorced wife. She is no longer “dependent” on her ex-husband’s income. She is “independent.” So the law allows an independently entitled divorced wife to get her husband’s Social Security even though he might not yet be getting benefits. (The same rules would apply to a divorced husband.) Now here is how these two laws come together to help you. The “restricted application rule” allows one of you to file for benefits as a spouse and save your own benefits until age 70. And again, normally the other spouse must apply for benefits first. But the independently entitled divorced spouse law says the first spouse does not have to be getting Social Security in order for the other spouse to file. That means you can both file for divorced spouse benefits on the other’s account and then you both can save your own retirement benefits until age 70. To further explain this, let’s use some actual numbers. You said you had similar retirement benefits. Let’s say your age 66 retirement rate is $2,200 and that your wife’s age 66 retirement rate is $2,500. Here is what you could do. At age 66, you could file for one half of your ex-wife’s benefit and get $1,250 per month. Also at age 66, your ex-wife could file for one half of your age 66 benefit and get $1,100 per month. You each would continue to get those divorced spouse benefits until you each reach age 70. At that point, your divorced husband’s benefits would stop, but you would file for your own retirement benefits, with the 32 percent bonus, and receive $2,904 each month from then on. And when she is 70, your ex would stop getting divorced wife’s benefits and she would file for her retirement and start getting $3,300 monthly, again, with the 32 percent bonus. I hope you realize how bizarre it is that you are able to do this. A whole lot of stars had to line up just right. In addition to those two aforementioned laws being in place, you each had to be pushing 66 at the same time (and before the 2020 cutoff date), you each had to have not remarried, and you each had to have your own fairly substantial retire-

ment benefit rate. Just like anyone else employing the file and restrict strategy, you would have to compare the above option with your normal course of action -- which would be for each of you to simply file for your own full benefits at age 66. In other words, instead of getting just $1,250 per month between age 66 and 70, you could be getting your own $2,200 full retirement rate. So you would be giving up $950 per month for 48 months, or $45,600 in order to reap that 32 percent bonus at 70. And your ex could be

getting $2,500 per month between 66 and 70 instead of the $1,100 divorced wife’s rate, meaning she is giving up $1,400 per month for 48 months or $67,200 to get the age 70 bonus. You need to run the numbers for yourselves, make some educated guesses about how long you think you will live, and then decide what to do.

Paris Ray, a 21-year old from St. James who majored in songwriting in college, dazzled the judges with her original song, “The Astronaut” and a second, highly personal original song that gets to the heart of domestic violence, as well as the required George Michael song (each of the contestants only a week ago was assigned a George Michael song to perform). Julia Lambert impressed with her song-stylings on the acoustical guitar, and her original song that soon will be released on an EP (“Take a chance, it will be okay, I promise.”). All of the performers were audience favorites: Julia Hayden, from Port Washington, backed up with a sensational band, performed two original songs plus a tribute to George Michael, which offered a MiddleEastern meets MidWest country feeling, and an really interesting song that featured the drum roll of a marching band (“Carry on”). Lydia von Hof, just 15 years old but conveying a skill and sophistication way beyond her years (she is a classically trained pianist who will be performing Chopin at Carnegie Hall), brings a full, rich voice to her performance. Sydney Perruzza, from Carle Place, brought her bluesy style to her performance. Jaclyn Manfredi, 17, brings a sultry style reflecting jazz, blues and R&B influences, and has performed at the Apollo Theater. She performed an original song, “Warehouse.” The “Big Break” is not just a clever title. The young performers are

competing for prizes that could well launch their career. As the grand-prize winner of the 5th Annual Your Big Break talent competition, Ray will have an opening spot for national acts at major venues like The Paramount, recording time at DCITY Studios and Online TV streaming opportunities, a feature on Reverbnation.com, a $250 gift certificate from All Music Inc. and ZOOM North America, a PR and social media campaign including management, booking and label services consultation with Rick Eberle Agency. Lambert, as the runner up, won a video camera. In addition, Rick Eberle has also invited all the contestants to appear on his radio and TV shows. The judges are major players in the music industry including: ReverbNation.com’s Lou Plaia, All Music Inc.’s Guy Brogna, Songwriter Tara Eberle Drouin and Label Executives Stephen Marcuccio, Jerry Lembo, Linda Ingrisano, Mark Ambrosino. The contestants for Your Big Break were selected out of 1000 submissions

Finals of the fifth annual Gold Coast Acoustic Café Your Big Break talent competition participants, organizers and judges at the Gold Coast Arts Center, Great Neck, Long Island © 2017 Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com

through Gold Coast Arts Center (www. goldcoastarts.com) and Reverbnation. com sites in response to an open call for musicians age 15 to 25 who do not currently have a recording or publishing contract. The artists have to perform with a band or solo with an acoustic guitar or sing to a backing music track. There is no fee to submit. The six finalists came out of two semi-final competitions of performers and were paired with mentors to guide them in performing a song by George Michael, assigned to them, in tribute to the music icon who died last December: American Idol’s Robbie Rosen, Dream Recording Studio’s Jason Melker, Sojourn Record’s Mark Ambosino, arranger/producer/songwriter/ remixer and former VP of A&R at Atlantic Records Jimmy Bralower, singer/songwriter John Hampson of Nine Days, and songwriter/producer Donnie Klang of MTV’s “Making the Band”. Your Big Break is hosted by the Gold Coast Arts Center’s Acoustic Café and Love Revolution Org. The Arts Center is transformed into the Gold Coast Acoustic Café once a month, a music venue that showcases local up-and-coming talent as well as established music acts. With its black box theater performance space and a lounge in the art gallery, the Gold Coast Acoustic Café is one of the few small music venues around which makes for a special and intimate atmosphere for artists and audience alike, especially during Your Big Break.

Hop On Down to a Happy Easter!

C ontinued from page D3

Children romped on the South Lawn while the lively tunes played. People enjoyed the fresh air and the camaraderie of the Easter egg roll. The crowds grew each year until more than 50,000 people poured across the South Lawn in 1937. Wartime interfered with the Easter tradition. After being canceled during World War I, the egg roll was again postponed after the U.S. entered World War II. The renovation of the White House under President Harry Truman resulted in further cancellations. In 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower revived the tradition after a 12-year hiatus. The Easter Bunny made his first appearance at the egg roll in 1969 when a member of First Lady Pat Nixon’s staff put on a fleecy white costume, and amused the guests. He proved to be a bigger star than

the president in the eyes of some of the children. Five years later, organizers raided the White House kitchen for silverware to stage the first egg-rolling races in which children used spoons to push their eggs in marked lanes. All over the world, the dyeing of Easter eggs in different colors is commonplace. People boil the eggs and some people got brown by using onion peels, black by using oak or alder bark or the nutshell of walnut, or pink by using beet juice, or by using artificial colorings. (wikipedia.org) A greater variety of color was often provided by tying on the onion skin with different-colored wool yarn. In the North of England these are called paceeggs or paste-eggs, from a dialectal form of Middle English “pasche.” They were usually eaten after an egg-tapping competition.

In the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches, Easter eggs are dyed red to represent the blood of Christ, with further symbolism being found in the hard shell of the egg symbolizing the sealed Tomb of Christ. The cracking of which symbolized his resurrection from the dead. Why is chocolate so connected with Easter? “The tradition of chocolate eggs began in 19th-century France and Germany and soon spread to the rest of Europe and eventually the U.S.,” said Katherine Tegen, the author of “The Story of the Easter Bunny.” (realsimple.com) Some Christians are also happy to eat chocolate on Easter because many people give up chocolate for the 40 days of Lent. Anne Kathryn Killinger, the author of “An Inner Journey to Easter,” has said, “To receive the special Easter eggs, children were told to make nests from hats or baskets so the Easter Bunny could leave them there.” Another typical Easter food is lamb. “Lamb is traditional because Jesus’ last supper was the Passover meal,” said Karen Jean Matsko Hood, the author of “Easter Delights Cookbook.” “If he ate meat during that meal, it would have been lamb.” Many families like to eat ham on Easter Sunday. “Salted pork would last through the winter and be ready to eat in spring before other fresh meat was available,” Hood said. This year’s Easter dinner, surrounded by family and friends, is sure to be a memorable one. Claire Lynch says Happy Easter and Happy Spring to all!

Some Unique Easter Trivia*

The most popular flower for decorating church altars at Easter is the white trumpet lily. It symbolizes grace, purity and virtue. Lilies also account for more than half of all Easter gift plants purchased for the holiday followed by azaleas and African violets. Each year, candy manufacturers produce more than 90 million chocolate Easter bunnies for Easter. Meanwhile, research shows that solid chocolate bunnies are the most popular - followed by hollow chocolate bunnies and marshmallow chocolate bunnies. Studies also indicate that about 76% of Americans will eat the ears on chocolate bunnies first. The number of jelly beans produced in the U.S. each year is 16 billion. And the most popular jelly bean flavor among kids? It’s cherry. The Easter egg toss dates back to the medieval church where a hard-boiled egg was thrown from one choir boy to the next. When the priest called “time up,” whoever held it got to keep the egg. Coloring eggs was brought to a high art when medieval English kings dispersed hundreds of decorated, gold-leafed eggs throughout the royal household at Easter. In 1883, Russian Czar Alexander was responsible for commissioning the famous Faberge eggs - from goldsmith Peter Carl Faberge - as an Easter gift for his wife, the Empress Marie.

Syosset HS junior and NYS Poetry Out Loud champion Iree Mann is congratulated by her coach, teacher Lydia Esslinger. Syosset High School junior Iree Mann is the New York State champion in the 12th annual Poetry Out Loud competition. Iree will represent the state in the national semifinals at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., on April 25, with a chance to advance to the finals, which will take place there on April 26. Iree outshined 24 of the brightest, most creative young student poets in the state, reciting a wide range of poems from the official POL anthology at the state-level competition held in Syracuse. As state champ, she received $200; an all-expenses paid trip to the national semifinals and Syosset High School will be awarded a $500 stipend for the purchase of poetry books. Iree’s winning recitations were of the following poems: “American Smooth,” by Rita Dove; “The Golden Shovel,” by Terrance Hayes; and “Break of Day,” by John Donne.

POL competition participants are evaluated on a cumulative point total covering all three recitations that factor in accuracy, dramatic appropriateness, evidence of the poem’s understanding, presence, and voice and articulation as well as overall performance. Syosset High School English teacher Lydia Esslinger, who is also Iree’s adviser on the Forensics Society, coached her. “I am thrilled not only that Iree will represent Syosset High School and the state of New York on the national level, but that she was put in touch with beautiful and powerful language that captures moments of experience the way only an exquisite poem can,” said Syosset High School English teacher Lydia Esslinger, who is also Iree’s adviser on the Forensics Society and coached her for the POL competition. “My hope is that she becomes a poetry fan for life.”

Robbins Lane PTA holds annual Carnival

The 2017 Robbins Lane Luau Carnival took place on Saturday, February 4, 2017. There were both traditional carnival games, like “Can Smash” and “Hoop Shot”, and new favorites like “Tic-tactoe Basketball”. Kids of all ages had fun while playing the games and enjoying the carnival treats, like popcorn, cotton candy, and hot dogs. Children were able

to take pictures at our luau-themed photo booth, get their face painted, and make a fish craft. There were many raffles available, including Disney World Park Hoppers, Mets tickets, and autographed baseballs and posters! The kids all had tons of fun, getting out of the cold and into the sun.

Some came as students and left as butterflies

LUHI food drive packs over 316,000 meals BY GARY SIMEONE

Over the course of three days from April 2nd to April 4th, over 1400 volunteers showed up to pack meals for hungry people at Long Island Lutheran high school in Brookville. It was the seventh annual event at the Brookville campus. Maureen Bonavita, Development Communications Associate at LUHI, said that a total of 316,000 meals were packed thanks to the help of various organizations including local churches, clubs and groups from other schools. “From Sunday to Tuesday we had over 600 people including students, faculty and staff and people from various organizations assisting in the set up of the food table’s and packing the food to be sent out to Island Harvest and other food banks for distribution,” said Bonavita. Student groups from Oyster Bay, Trinity Lutheran and Kellenberg High School’s participated in the food drive as well as local girl scout troops. The groups were set up at

Long Island Lutheran HS students help pack meals for the hungry. ten different stations inside the school’s gymnasium, helping to

scoop, weigh and pack the food contents into boxes that were

ready to be shipped out. Included in the packages

were nutritious and easy to handle foods such as dried vegetables, pinto beans, vitamin powders, rice, soy and various seasonings. “The great thing about this event is that the kids physically are able to use their hands to package the food which is then sent out to people in need,” said Bonavita. “At this point in time on Long Island, people who visit the food pantries is at an all time high.” She said that 2/3 of the food that is sent out is donated to the Island Harvest organization and other food pantries on Long Island. Packages are also sent to schools in Haiti that were devasted by last year’s hurricane and earthquake in the country. According to Bonavita, a total of 2,201,590 meals have been packaged over the seven year span of the food drive. Meals From The Heart, a meal packaging organization in Minnesota, was instrumental in organization the event and help bringing in all the necessary food supplies.

Jericho’s Italian Honor Society “adopts” a family

The Jericho High School Italian Honor Society is constantly working to give back to the community in a positive way. In addition to “adopting a family” during the holiday season, students also came together to prepare a lesson for the Career and Skills Development students. The Italian students were proud to teach them Italian phrases and winter holiday traditions such as

La Befana, who even paid a visit to the classroom! The students also met at the local Arbors Assisted Living Center to shower the residents with treats and prizes for a unique, unforgettable Bingo night. Italian Honor Society Co-advisors Catrina Percontino and Anthony Vittorino are very proud of the students and their accomplishments.

Jericho’s Italian Honor Society enjoyed bingo at the Arbors Assisted Living Center.
