earning how to research a topic and communicate the information in a coherent manner is an important high-level skill for all students. At Parkway Elementary School, fifth grade students in Larry D’Angelo’s class recently utilized their research and writing abilities as they studied civil rights legends. Through their investigation of important figures, the class acquired valuable information that indicated how these legends’ contributions are relevant.

VALENTINES FOR VETS - Hempstead Town Councilwoman Angie M. Cullin congratulates the pupils who participated in the Valentines for Vets program at Mandalay Elementary School located at 2667 Bayview Avenue in Wantagh. Through this program, which the Town instituted in 2001, students create valentines to send to veterans at local VA hospitals. Many of these men and women don’t have families and it means a lot to them to know that the young children appreciate them for the sacrifices they made for our nation.

Students at Parkway Elementary School reveled in an interactive presentation of magical tales given by Dr. Jeri Burns and Barry Marshall, otherwise known as the Storycrafters. Using a variety of techniques to orally present stories and images, the duo delighted the students with Diane Wolkstein’s Haitian
folktale of Tipingee, while comparing it to the popular fairy tale Cinderella. The students collaborated with the Storycrafters to retell an original story of a cooking pot which was left in the backyard during the winter. Mr. Marshall engaged the students in this tale by having them practice their language skills by
continually repeating the names of creatures who tried to make the pot their home by cramming into its small space. During this special presentation, the students were also exposed to tools of language, gesture, expression and tonality, as ways to express themselves when creating their own stories.

Students at Woodland Middle School stepped out of their comfort zones at lunchtime and mingled with unfamiliar peers during the school’s annual Mix It Up Day. Hosted by the Social Emotional Literacy Committee, the students went beyond their typical social divisions and tried to connect with someone with whom they were not familiar.

Business Showcase
Levittown’s MacArthur High School business students proudly displayed group and individual projects during the business department’s second annual student showcase. Business Honor Society members volunteered at each of the various stations, and each student’s work was represented in the areas of business ownership and marketing, computer programming
and applications, digital media production, introduction to business, marketing principles and practices, personal money management, sports and entertainment management and web design. In addition, students enrolled in the trial law classes hosted a mock trial in which they debated criminal hazing and manslaughter. Business teacher Chris Leahy noted that the
school’s business program is in-depth and offers students opportunities to explore future business options. The evening is also an opportunity for each student to showcase his or her work. “When you see the students excited about what they are presenting, it adds a whole new layer to the importance of the program,” Mr. Leahy stated.
Woodland Middle School student Abel Ninan is the first place winner of the school’s 2013 Spelling Bee. As the first-place winner, Abel advanced to the regional competition of the Scripps Spelling Bee at Hofstra University. During the school competition to determine a regional representative, Abel defeated 19 contestants in the annual
bee. The district would like to congratulate the following students on qualifying to compete in the Woodland Middle School Spelling Bee: Daniella Acuna Paige Blayne Christian Degregori Hooria Haque Haley Hatzelman Priscilla Hernandez Sabera Hossain

Fleeting Thoughts By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Far too often, we are reminded of the fleeting nature of life; the fact that, in an instant, things can change, throwing any sense of normalcy and routine into complete upheaval. Whether by the hands of Mother Nature or some otherworldly force, many of these factors are far beyond our control, making it all the more crucial that we embrace those things we do, in fact, have control over. One of my favorite films back in my high school Political Science class was Dead Poets Society, simply for the fact that its mantra of “Carpe Diem� seemed to make perfect sense. Seize the
day, capture the moment‌ live each day to the fullest. You just never know what may be around the corner. Certainly, there are times when something positive is on the horizon; surprises need not always portend tragedy and aggravation. It just seems that, on the whole, we as a society tend to take our lives – and those most important to us – for granted, never anticipating a day when this sense of contentment (read: complacency) might be turned upside down. What can we do to prepare for this eventuality? Well, nothing and everything – all at the same time. There are those circumstances which reach far beyond our control;
the key is to take the given situation and make the most of it, and to move forward having learned something about ourselves. If this means taking more time to appreciate the little things in life‌or savoring each moment with those we love‌ or simply reaching toward a long-unrealized goal‌ this is progress. This is positive. This is appreciation. This is not to say we will not each continually be faced with new obstacles each and every day – some minor, some life-changing – but at the very least, we will be better prepared to deal with them. Carpe Diem always‌ Those who seize the day are those who have few regrets.

societal problems. Stefanie also provides workshops and lectures to regional organizations. Stefanie explained her motivation for starting Project LETS, “There is a real lack of awareness and programs in America that address mental illness and suicide.” The President’s Volunteer Service Award is distributed to individuals and groups dedicated to the service of others. This prestigious award is granted by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation. It was created to thank volunteers who, by their demonstrated commitment, serve as an example to others. In addition to her volunteer services, Stefanie is the school’s student government vice president. She is a member of the National Honor Society, and the art, math and science honor societies. She is an avid soccer player who still finds time to coordinate a school poetry anthology. In the fall, Stefanie looks forward to attending Brown University, where she intends to study neuroscience and literary arts.

Taking First Place High school entrepreneurs came together to present their ‘virtual’ companies at the third annual Long Island Virtual Enterprises Business Plan Competition recently, sponsored by the Nassau BOCES Perkins Consortium in partnership with Eastern and Western Suffolk BOCES Perkins Consortiums, Virtual Enterprises, International and the CTE Technical Assistance Center of New York. High school students enrolled in the Virtual Enterprises (VE) course create and manage a virtual company under the guidance of a teacher-facilitator and a business partner. Students become involved in every aspect of running a company from human resources to accounting, and from product development, production and distribution to marketing and sales. These programs are often a “capstone” course in business education through which students have the opportunity to apply the business skills they have learned in accounting, marketing and management. Many of these programs have dual credit agreements with Farmingdale State College as well as articulations with other colleges. More than 300 students from 19 high schools across Long Island competed for top honors at the Long Island Virtual Enterprises Business Plan Competition, hosted by Dr. Francine Federman at Farmingdale State College, recently. Cupcake Break, a VE firm from Bellmore-Merrick CHSD’s John F. Kennedy High School, took first place for their business plan. The company’s mission is to provide unique, high quality, delicious and customizable desserts to “Make Life Sweeter.” The Hewlett High School team, FlashComm, came in second place for this first year start-up firm. Its mission: to provide VE firms world-wide with affordable, high-speed
phone and Internet service. William Floyd High School future business leaders placed third with their Forever Fit company, an online fitness one-stop shop committed to the health of their customers and the planet. “Nassau BOCES is extremely proud to help offer this opportunity to school districts as part of the Perkins Grant Consortium,” said Ms. Gene Silverman, executive director, Nassau BOCES Department of Career and
Technical Education and facilitator of the consortium. “This is one of the many ways the grant enriches the lives of students throughout Nassau County by giving them real world work place and 21st Century skills while still in high school.” The competition consisted of a written business plan and a ten minute presentation of the firm’s business plan followed by a five minute question and answer period. Over 30 business partners representing colleges and large and small business on LI judged the competition. The firms’ marketing and sales departments participated in a mini-trade fair, complete with booths and a variety of product and promotional information. Students had the chance to connect with other virtual businesses
to conduct business, learn about salesmanship and stimulate the VE economy. Educators and administrators shared best practices and challenges in Virtual Business education programs. “The opportunity to create and operate a business across a network of 5,000 student-run companies spanning 40 countries captures the energy, imagination and passion of the students and opens their classroom to the world” said Ellen Palazzo, Virtual Enterprises facilitator. “The students have worked in their “firms” since September in preparation for the business plan event. They develop and apply a range of academic and business skills that will prepare them for success in employment, college and the community.” Participation in the Virtual Enterprises course allows students to develop skills that will broaden their knowledge about today’s business world, the global economy, and career and job trends. Students work collaboratively with their classmates and the 5,000 Virtual Enterprise firms worldwide in business ventures which require hands-on applications, problem-solving, and written and verbal communication. The first place winner, Cupcake Break will represent the Long Island region in the 2013 Virtual Enterprises National Business Plan Competition. It takes place during the Youth Business Summit in New York City in April. All the Long Island Virtual Enterprises firms will participate in the International Trade Show there and some students will also participate in the Global Business Challenge as a member of a multinational team working to solve a Harvard Business School case study.
