ENTER TO WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS TO

Kicking Into High Gear By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Has anyone else found that the more you have to accomplish in a given period of time, the more efficiently you tend to work?

Tasked with a To Do list a mile long, one that would seem insurmountable at first glance, you suddenly kick into another gear entirely, mustering the kind of motivation not seen since the days of cramming for final exams and pulling all-nighters to finish term papers.

The problem is complacency. Too easily do we settle into our routines, refusing to waver in our

preconceived notions of how our days should go; how much we are required to accomplish at a minimum, rather than how much we could achieve if only we exercised our full potential. Sad to say, “good enough” is exactly just that for most people – all that they are mentally capable of reaching for.

But (and this is good news), see what happens when you take on a little more. Day by day, stretch yourself a bit too thin… and you will surely begin to see just how much time is wasted on a daily basis, and how much more we can accomplish if we only

rise to the occasion. The potential is there; we need only to unlock it.

Think back to the days when achievement actually meant something, when everything was a means to an end in order to reach that next level. Why should that mentality change once we “grow up” and settle into adulthood? Why shouldn’t we continue to push the boundaries of excellency, to rise through the ranks and maximize every minute we can in pursuit of perfection?

Everyone has a higher gear. There’s no better time than now to tap into the reserve.

Sheriff Vincent F. DeMarco recently announced that he has formed a Sheriff’s Office Citizens Advisory Board (SOCAB), which is a first of its kind in Suffolk County.

The purpose of the SOCAB will be to collaboratively establish and implement programs that seek to resolve conflict, concerns and issues regarding the Sheriff’s Office and the community it serves. The Board will also be tasked with the establishment of sub-committees with the mission to further promote communication and understanding among various constituent groups and the Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff DeMarco called the initiative an important first step in “preserving public trust in county law enforcement,” which has been the subject of intense media scrutiny in the past year.

The first meeting will be held in early February and the Board will be tasked with the following responsibilities: • Provide annual reviews to the Sheriff concerning complaints and testimony

The Bond Of Brotherly Lover I will never understand why the bond between brothers is so strong.

My little brother and I are best friends. We are study partners. We are co-workers. We are teammates for flagfootball. I am his mentor, and he is my inspiration.

For fifteen years, my brother has had an unparalleled influence on my life, and I on his. We are cast from the same mold, and nothing could ever come between us. Some call us inseparable, but I just call us family.

My little brother is the reason why I strive for

greatness. I want to set a positive example for him. I want him to strive for greatness.

My brother is always there when I need him, and knows just how to cheer me up after a rough day. Similarly, whenever my brother needs help, he knows just who to call. I will always have his back, just like he will always have mine.

There has never, and will never, be a time where I put another person before my little brother. Since we were babies, our parents have been instilling in

us the idea that we are the world’s greatest tag-team. If we work together, there are few forces that can overcome us. Our relationship is stronger than any other that I have ever witnessed.

I will never understand why we finish each other’s sentences or why we cannot go a day without seeing each other. I will never know why he acts the way he acts, or why I do. I will never understand how two separate beings can be so close. I know we are brothers, and that is all that matters.

Friends By: Bob Sinclair A breathtaking summer sunrise enhanced the silhouette of two couples wandering along a winding path toward a serene and deserted beach.

They were captivated by the ocean’s rising tide, as the cascade of rolling waves tenderly rearranged all the sand within their reach.

Caressed and warmed by the brilliance of the early morning sun, and the magic of the moment, they steal a breath of time to scratch their names in the inviting, ever-shifting sand.

Embracing the tranquility of their surroundings, each couple, moved by the power and timeless majesty of the sea, seems to reach out to one another as their fingers instinctively intertwine, making it difficult to distinguish one hand from the other hand.

“Sexy Rose” Photo by: Mike Missano, North Babylon

Returning at sunset, serenaded by the haunting sounds of the sea, only to discover the ocean had once again somewhat magically shifted the sand, washing away most letters and scrambling the rest into one word that expresses so much more.

As the water escaped back into the arms of the sea, the message left behind touched them deeply and became a lasting part of their lives, creating a special bond that never ends.

Each couple had scratched their names in the sand separately, and the ocean had mysteriously erased some letters and joined others, forever engraving just one word, whispered by a gentle breeze and echoed by the ocean...

Webmasters Club computer programming.

The video detailed how students today are competing in a global world, and how some of the most competitive but desirable careers are those in computer science – and the opportunities are only growing. The clip also illustrated how current curricula in many schools do not include computer science, so programs such as Hour of Code are crucial for providing coding opportunities.

After the video, students accessed code.org and browsed through tutorials that explained coding languages. They soon began building code in virtual games and

programs such as Scratch, Tynker and Codeacademy.

At the end of the session, many students received a virtual certificate congratulating them on their participation.

The Hour of Code was a huge success, and the students look forward to growing the opportunity in the district by participating in this initiative again next year.

Throughout the year, the club is responsible for updating and editing the school website, as well as learning about computer programming, desktop publishing, photo editing and current technological tools.

Trout TV Throughout the year, students on the elementary team at Woodhull Elementary School will be participating in a project called “Trout in the Classroom.” To commence this inquiry-based learning assignment, the students learned how to prepare and set up a tank. Taking into consideration the environment required for trout to grow and survive, the students conducted research and recorded their observations in their

“trout journals.”

Before the holiday break, the students introduced eggs into the trout habitat and began to study the ecosystem and food web necessary for trout survival. Eventually, they will place the mature trout in portable containers for release into the trout streams at Caleb State Park.

Trout in the Classroom has interdisciplinary applications in science, social studies, language

arts, fine arts and physical education. Students are responsible for feeding the trout several times a day, monitoring and recording the water temperature and level, and ensuring the trout have what they need to survive.

Parents and the general public have been invited to view the progress via a live webcam feed streamed onto the district’s website at www.fi.k12.ny.us.

On November 4th Dr. Cholden visited with 5th grade Advanced Recorder Ensemble members, under the

direction of Mrs. Lucy Puglin.

Practicing with 4 different size recorders (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), the youngsters meet every Monday morning, before classes, and practice for 30 minutes.

“This recorder program is unique to Bosti Elementary School and has been active for many years,” said Dr. Cholden. Several

of the arrangements for the recorders have been written by Mrs. Puglin.

Many of the current students in the recorder ensemble have had older siblings who have participated in the Bosti program.

Dr. Cholden congratulated Mrs. Puglin and her talented students, and told them she looks forward to their upcoming holiday concerts.

Students in Laurie Jerssen’s Pharmacy Technician class are interning locally where they are learning how to interpret prescriptions using a patient profile system, how to count medications, customer service, and inventory control.

Donosaur Presentation Mr. John Delio, Principal of Connetquot’s Edith L. Slocum Elementary School in Ronkonkoma, eagerly brought his students to the school’s gymnasium for an exciting assembly on November 7th. Slocum students took part in a school assembly by the organization Dinosaurs Rock!

This interactive media presentation awed the students with real, and

recreations of, giant fossils of prehistoric animals, and included modern, if unusual, sea creatures.

“The children enjoyed the show and were rewarded at the end of the presentation when they were permitted to take home their own specimens of shells,” according to Mr. Delio.

The presentation covered over a billion years of geologic time in less than an hour.

Slocum youngsters had an opportunity to see, and touch, fossils from prehistoric beasts that ruled the oceans 100 million years ago! The students left the presentation so excited to have experienced the history of the earth, and to be able to share their experiences with the families by bringing home their own fossils!

McTeacher Night Mrs. Jennifer Cambria is a PTA mom at Connetquot’s Cherokee Street Elementary School, and a teacher in a local school district. At a recent Cherokee PTA meeting to discuss student needs, and fundraising ideas, Mrs. Cambria suggested something called McTeacher Night at a local McDonald’s Restaurant!

Phone calls and letters were exchanged, and on November 19th a dozen Cherokee teachers, PTA moms and even Assistant Principal Patricia Murthy, were taking orders, preparing desserts, serving food and helping raise funds for needed activities.

PTA Treasurer Mrs. Fran

Imbasciani thanked the teachers, PTA members, Cherokee parents and children that visited the McDonald’s Restaurant on Portion Road in Ronkonkoma from 5 to 7 p.m. She also singled out McDonalds’ Area Supervisor Joe Amato and Store Manager Tim Ward for their cooperation in making McTeacher Night such a success.

While Assistant Principal Mrs. Murthy enjoyed the experience, and loved meeting so many parents and student at McDonalds, she did point out that “… that McFlurry machine was not as easy as it looked!”

PTA President Christina Cater thanked everyone

involved in making McTeacher Night such a success. The restaurant will provide a percentage of the sales during the 5 to 7 p.m. hours.

P a r t i c i p a t i n g ‘McTeachers’ were: Mrs. Goncalves, Mrs. Corcoran, Mrs. Lewis, Mr. Cavanagh, Mrs. Dunkin, Mrs. Mongiello, Mrs. Gagnon, Mrs. Einhorn and Mrs. Randazzo.

Congratulations, and thank you, to the hard-working officers of the Cherokee Street Elementary School PTA: Christina Catera, President; Meredith Pezzino, VP; Fran Imbasciani, Treasurer; Michelle Tantillo, Secretary.

Commitment To Serve

Teens For Jeans

Suffolk County Legislator Bill Lindsay III honored Kurt Caminske Jr. with a proclamation on Tuesday, January 14th, for his early commitment to the United States Coast Guard Academy.

Caminske Jr., a senior, scholar-athlete at Sayville High School, joined his father, Kurt Sr., mother, Barbara, and younger sister, Corinne at Legislator

Lindsay’s district office to discuss Kurt’s future plans and his willingness to serve our country.

“Kurt is a true leader who is determined to succeed and help others,” said Legislator Lindsay III. “He is an ideal candidate for the Coast Guard Academy and I wish him the best of luck throughout his career as a member of our United States Armed Forces.”

Caminske Jr. was one of twenty nationwide applicants who were offered an early appointment to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and was the first member of the Class of 2018 to sign his paperwork. He will report to the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, on June 30, 2014, just two days after his high school graduation.

February 14th.

Currently, the locations of the drop off sites are: The Islip Youth Bureau, 401 Main Street, room 312, Islip; Legislator Tom Cilmi’s Office, 96 E. Main Street, Suite 5, East Islip; the Keep Islip Clean office, 660 Main Street, Suite 2, Islip; Islip High School, 2508 Union Boulevard, Islip; Sachem East High School, 177 Granny Road, Farmingdale; Hauppauge High School, 495, Hoffman Lane, Hauppauge and Central Islip High School, 85 Wheeler Road, Central Islip.

The Islip Youth Bureau is very pleased to support the Teens for Jeans program in their mission to engage youth and families in assisting those less fortunate in their

communities.

“About 1 in 3 people experiencing homelessness is under the age of eighteen. One of their most requested items are jeans,” said Councilman Anthony Senft, Jr. “When people enter a homeless shelter, they often don’t have more than the clothes they are wearing. The Teens for Jeans Program has provided approximately 3.3 million pairs of jeans to over 1,000 shelters in the U.S. and Canada. Your kindness and compassion will help clothe men, women and youth who are in great need.”

For further information about this program contact South Shore Community Organization at SSCOJOH@aol.com or 631.277.1365.

The Computer Graphic Arts Technology course is designed to give students experience combining art and graphic arts equipment as communication tools.

Ms. Weule-Sparwasser said, “I was very proud of my students. They were able to exhibit their skill level and they added this experience to their personal portfolio.”

This was an interactive, FACING OFF - Hauppauge School District staff faced off with the world renowned intergenerational class Harlem Wizards on January 11th, on the Hauppauge High School Basketball Court. project.

The game – which also featured Suffolk County Legislator John M. Kennedy Jr. as a referee – was a fund-raiser coordinated by the PTA for the Forest Brook Elementary School. In addition to the basketball game, the Wizards showcased the hottest basketball tricks and shared an inspiring motivational message with the students.

The Town of Islip Youth Bureau and their youth service agency, South Shore Community Organization have joined forces with local School Districts, Suffolk County Legislator Tom Cilmi and Keep Islip Clean to collect jeans for the national Teens for Jeans Program. With tough economic times, more families have less to spend on everything, including basic necessities like clothing.

The Islip Youth Bureau is encouraging residents, community and school groups, and businesses to support the efforts of the Islip Youth Bureau and the Teens for Jeans program by donating new or used, jeans in good condition (any size) at one of the local drop-off sites before

Bringing Joy

Members of the Eastern Suffolk BOCES (ESBOCES) Student Government from Bellport Academic Center @ Patchogue-Medford High School sang their way into the hearts of staff and registrants at the Middle Island Adult Day Health Services Center.

Cathy Montilla student advisor and Special Education teacher said, “This is an intergenerational program that is very beneficial to both the students and the registrants. Everyone feels valued. The students learn that it’s good to give back.”

Ms. Montilla has a background in music and theatre. She thought having a choral group would benefit the students.

“Music facilitates learning in other subjects and the

students get a chance to tap into multiple skill sets.

Having the chorus perform at different venues is also very socially advantageous to the students and the audience.”

The students sang an array of holiday songs and accented the performance with percussive instruments like maracas, tambourines, triangles, and sticks. School Social Worker Kathleen Nicosia accompanied the chorus on acoustic guitar.

Recreational Therapists Elena Pucci and Susan Lemke are pleased with the relationship the center has with ESBOCES. Elena said, “The students have been performing here for the past 5 years.

It’s wonderful to see the students brighten the day

of the registrants.”

The center provides many opportunities and services like bingo, movies, jewelry making, board games, crafts, Wii games, and there is a beautician on-site. They also take field trips to go shopping.

Susan said, “Over the years we’ve hosted poetry groups and provided innovative programs for the registrants. We like to change it up and keep it fresh and interesting.”

The ESBOCES students consider themselves “ambassadors.”

One student said, “I don’t feel like we are going into an adult center. I feel like we are going into someone’s home. They welcome us.

We look forward to going and they look forward to seeing us.”

SCOUT COMMENDED - Rob Calarco, Suffolk County Legislator for the 7th Legislative District, recently congratulated Timothy Oliveira on successfully achieving the esteemed rank of Eagle Scout. For his qualifying Eagle Scout project, Oliveira designed and constructed a wooden enclosure for the emus living at Holtsville Ecology Center. Calarco joined with Timothy’s mother, Jeanette Oliveira, in extending congratulations to Timothy for his remarkable accomplishment.

The Bayport-Blue Point School District is asking parents, teachers, staff, middle school students and high school students to participate in a Perspectives on the Schools survey that will launch on Tuesday, January 21st.

The survey seeks community member views on key issues like the quality of education, parent engagement, district leadership and other issues relative to school function and relationships with stakeholders.

“There is great value in gathering this type of feedback from the

residents who experience our schools on a daily basis,” said Dr. Vincent Butera, Superintendent of School. “This survey is just one more tool to help us along the way as we focus on continuous improvement in line with our community’s expectations.”

Teachers and staff will receive e-mail invitations to participate in the survey. Parents whose email addresses are on file with the district will receive email invitations as well, and students will be provided with a custom link. The survey will also be

accessible via a public link on the district’s website, http://www.bbpschools. org.

The confidentiality of survey respondents will be preserved to encourage wide participation and candid feedback. Following the close of the survey, a final report will be discussed and made available for the larger community.

The survey is designed and administered by independent technology and communications firm K12 Insight.

Spelling Star Advances Fourth- and fifth-grade students from Academy Elementary School competed in a schoolwide Spelling Bee in January.

During the event, the students correctly spelled challenging words as they competed for the title of school spelling bee winner.

After 11 challenging rounds of competition and correctly spelling the word “insinuate,” fourth-grader Marisa D’Angelo was named this year’s winner. As the school spelling bee winner, Marisa has qualified to compete in the Long Island Regional Spelling Bee at

Hofstra University in early February.

This year’s second-place winner was fourth-grader Katherine LaFountain. In the event that Marisa is unable to attend the Long Island Regional Spelling Bee, Katherine will advance in the competition.

SPELLING STAR ADVANCES - Academy Street Elementary School fourth-grader Marisa D’Angelo was named the winner of the school’s Spelling Bee and will now compete in the Long Island Regional Spelling Bee at Hofstra University in February.

SUFFOLK ZONE HONOREES - Bayport-Blue Point High School seniors Cassie Dooley and Dan Percival have been presented with this year’s Suffolk Zone Physical Education Award. The New York State Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance presents this annual award to one male and one female senior in each Suffolk County high school who best exemplify exceptional physical performance, character and citizenship. Cassie and Dan were nominated for this honor by their physical education teachers.

One Point Short

total of 170 yards on 13 completions. Hahn also scored the first touchdown for Connetquot late in the fourth quarter. With 45 seconds left on the clock in that last quarter, Connetquot’s Tyler Nason scored a touchdown, bringing the T-birds score to 14-13. Connetquot called a time out to determine what the last play of the game would be, and decided to go for ‘two’.

Should Connetquot score that two point conversion, it would take a15-14 victory over the visitors from Sachem.

But it was not to be.

Connetquot’s attempt

to score with their last possession was foiled by an aggressive Sachem defense. While Connetquot players, coaches and fans were disappointed with the outcome, loyal fans applauded their T-birds for an outstanding season, and tremendous effort in this semi-final game.

Congratulations to Coach Hansen and his staff, all the players and their families for making this community proud of the 2013 Connetquot Football program. The Connetquot ‘Thunderbirds’ finished the season with an impressive 8-2 record.

and Suffolk County Health Departments, dozens of communitybased organizations, and academic institutions.

These partners joined together in early 2013 to combine their expertise in a streamlined and cooperative effort to reach all Long Islanders and help them achieve improved health.

The website is a component of their work. The userfriendly site provides Long Islanders with comprehensive health promotion and disease prevention information at their fingertips. It’s a portal connecting Long Islanders to clinical and social service supports that will get them well or keep them well.

The LIHC is one of the few collaborative groups in the state of New York featuring a partnership between two neighboring counties and is the first time that Nassau and Suffolk counties are partnering in such a comprehensive way.

Public health and public affairs experts from the region’s hospitals, as well as health department leaders and representatives from social service organizations and public health specialists from colleges, comprise the collaborative.

“Health care is a reactive industry . . . we respond to patients’ needs when they are sick and injured,” said Kevin Dahill, president/CEO of the NSHC. “What is invigorating about this effort is that it is proactive.”

The group initially formed in February 2013 in response to enhanced state and federal government regulations that require all health care providers, local health departments, and community-based service organizations to work together to assure and improve health in

communities they serve.

It has now moved beyond these mandates and stands as a fully integrated model of health and social service for all of Long Island’s communities.

More specifically, the state’s Prevention Agenda 2013 – 2017 mandate asked local county health departments, hospitals, community-based organizations, schools and other regional partners to join together to address unmet health needs in communities.

LIHC performed that task in early 2013 and uncovered unmet needs in the areas of chronic disease prevention and management, especially related to obesity, as well as a great need for more mental health/substance abuse prevention and treatment services. As a result, LIHC’s efforts will focus on these priorities.

LIHC’s ultimate goal is the management of population health, which is really the steadfast coordination and integration of all clinical and social services that assist each and every Long Islander in becoming well and/or staying well.

Health care providers hospitals, doctors, laboratory service providers, nutritionists and social service providers of all types work together to provide coordinated health care.

The website – http://nshc. org/long-island-healthcollaborative/ - is just the first step in achieving this goal. A bi-county walk effort to promote physical activity and that will reveal broad data about health and habits of Long Islanders is also planned, along with health and built-environment policy changes at the local level.

The winners will meet William Floyd HS for the Suffolk County Championship at Stony Brook University on November 24th.

Sachem took an early lead, and held a 14-0 advantage at the half.

Coach Hansen’s T-birds came on strong in the second half as quarterback Ricky Hahn passed for a

On Friday, January 10th, public health leaders and health care providers from the region gathered at the offices of the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council in Hauppauge to witness the launch of an historic community health initiative known as the Long Island Health Collaborative (LIHC).

The Long Island Health Collaborative is a bicounty effort to help Long Islanders improve their health.

A key component of LIHC’s work is a comprehensive website that connects Long Islanders to the health and social services they need to stay well or get well.

Dr. Howard Zucker, the First Deputy Commissioner of Health for the State of New York, “flipped the switch” and officially launched the LIHC and its website at Friday’s event.

NSHC is the agency that represents Long Islands’ hospitals and is the coordinating entity for LIHC. Dr. Zucker noted that this ground-breaking endeavor is exactly what the state health department is calling for in its effort to promote population health and integrated, coordinated health care services throughout New York’s local communities.

Health commissioners for both Nassau and Suffolk counties - Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein and Dr. James Tomarken respectively – echoed Dr. Zucker’s comments.

They agreed that the prevalence of chronic disease is widespread in both counties and a bi-county initiative like LIHC will help raise awareness and connect Long Islanders to the appropriate care and services.

The Long Island Health Collaborative (LIHC) is comprised of all Long Island’s hospitals, the Nassau

Competition Kickoff More than 800 teenagers from Long Island and metropolitan New York-area schools converged at the Jacob Javits Lecture Center at Stony Brook University on January 4th for a local kickoff of the FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition (FRC®) where they learned details of the 2014 robotics game called “Aerial AssistSM.” “The students who participate in the FIRST Robotics Competition are not only building robots; they are building character, self-respect, and relationships with their peers,” said Dean Kamen, president of DEKA Research & Development and FIRST Founder, adding, “Winning the game is fun, but the importance of FIRST is that you’ll get much more out of it than you put in, and it’s going to change the rest of your life.”

The 2014 game, “Aerial AssistSM,” is played by two Alliances of three teams each. Alliances compete by trying to score as many balls in goals as possible during a two-minute and 30-second match.

Additional points are earned by robots working together to score goals, and by throwing and catching balls over a truss suspended just over five feet above the floor as they move the ball down the field.

In addition, SBPLI held a special session for the students’ parents in which they learned about the organization, its mission and the impact of the robotics programs on the students’ lives, both academically and professionally.

SBPLI representatives, team mentors ,volunteers and former Long Island Regional FRC participants shared experiences and highlighted the value and importance

of the robotics programs. An interactive session followed S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex. in which the parents provided suggestions for important The FRC kickoff was hosted by Stony Brook University’s fundraising activities and ways to reach other parents in College Of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the program. sponsored by School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI), which has also sponsored the Long Island Regional FRC for the past fifteen years.

“This proves to be an exciting time for the students and the mentors when they learn the name and the rules of the game for this year’s FIRST Robotics Competition,” said Joani Madarash, Executive Director, School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. “We were very proud to present the FRC kickoff as we prepare for the upcoming Long Island Regional FRC in March.”

During the 2014 season, 49 teams from Long Island, New York City, the surrounding area and the Republic of Brazil will convene at Hofstra University for the Long Island Regional FRC on March 27-29, culminating with the 2014 FIRST Championship on April 24-27 at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, After learning the rules and being shown the playing Missouri. field, teams received a Kit of Parts made up of motors, “The next six weeks will be crucial for these students batteries, a control system, a PC, and a mix of automation as they design and construct their robots for this components – and only limited instructions.

Take Heart With Tea An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a recent study found drinking tea might keep the cardiologist at bay.

The USDA reported that men and women who drank black tea for three weeks reduced their total and bad

cholesterol (LDL) levels by an average of 7.5 percent.

Researchers concluded that drinking tea may reduce the

risk of coronary heart disease.

Antioxidants called flavonoids, found in both green and black teas, are thought to

be potent weapons in the fight against heart disease.

That news may be especially important

for women, given that heart disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined including breast cancer.

may not otherwise be able to pursue a degree in electrical engineering,” said Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., M.D. “We are joining forces with our colleagues at Binghamton University and the University at Buffalo to make a difference. We look forward to implementation of Open SUNY – a worthy and timely initiative led by Chancellor Zimpher. This is truly an exciting time to be involved in higher education in New York State.”

Across New York, 6.9 million adults have a high school degree but no college degree. Many want to pursue a degree but life commitments such as jobs, children, aging parents, financial limitations, and community ties limit their access to higher education.

Open SUNY aims to reach these non-traditional students as well.

“Open SUNY will completely redefine access to a college degree in our state, reaching every child and adult in every school and home in New York,” added Chancellor Zimpher, “and reaching them on their terms - in their homes and communities, and on their time, adapting to their schedules.”

Included as part of Open SUNY are built-in supports for students and faculty, such as 24/7 assistance for students, whether they need technical help, tutoring, financial planning, or academic

Partnerships Make Catholic Education Work Virtually every Catholic elementary school student goes on to one of Long Island’s elite Catholic high Schools upon graduation, and 99% of those students go on to college. So it should be no surprise that preparing students to excel in that atmosphere is an academic, spiritual and social goal beginning in the elementary schools. That degree of awareness, integration and cooperation is not an accident, however.

Did you know that there is an active program to create a Catholic education network from Nursery through higher education? Its goal is to provide students

and families with a greater return on their investment in choosing Catholic schools, and its effect is to provide a continuum of Catholic education.

The ‘continuum effort’ manifests itself in a variety of ways that benefit students directly, help faculty members grow their skills, and help the schools groom their next generation of skilled administrators.

The Diocese of Rockville Centre Education Department and the elementary schools are currently working with St John’s University, Fordham University and Molloy College on initiatives to advance

Catholic education.

St. John’s University announced the establishment of the St. John’s Catholic School Scholarship in November of 2011 that provides any graduate of a Catholic high school a minimum of $10,000 over four years, with a maximum potential scholarship of $20,000, based on financial need.

The scholarship will benefit many of our students, will help to strengthen the Catholic school network, and is a strong endorsement by St. John’s University in the value of a Catholic school education.

The relationship with St John’s also helps

with two professional development programs for principals and faculty.

Through project TIE (Training Innovative Educators), St. John’s has been providing our schools with intensive professional development with a focus on Math and ELA teaching strategies.

The second program, CLT (Curriculum Learning Teams), involves meetings at the university and onsite at the schools to work on new curriculum and instructional practices.

The Diocese has also worked with Fordham University to develop and educate future Administrators.

Teachers in the Diocese who have been chosen

Stay Aware

to participate in this program receive a Masters degree in Administration.

The commitment to excellence displayed by participants in this program assures that the Diocese will have future leaders with the required competencies to lead as visionaries and manage operations successfully.

Molloy College and the Diocese have created a series of workshops to improve instructional delivery to meet the needs of diverse learners.

The Molloy faculty has been working closely with schools in the Diocese on response to intervention, the use of educational technology, and the implementation

of best practices. One of the most interesting aspects of the work with Molloy has been the pilot program to integrate iPads into the special education program at St. Agnes Cathedral School in Garden City.

Together, from the formation of values in elementary school, to the development of character in high school, to the polishing of skills in these great colleges and universities, Catholic children get an advantage for life, and their families get a solid return on their investment.
