Hop-a-Thon

The Charles A. Reinhard Early Childhood Center’s Student Activity Council (SAC) sponsored a hop-a-thon, an activity that had students spend time before school and during recess hopping to raise money for muscular dystrophy. Students were introduced to this opportunity and provided with information about the disease in their physical education classes. Following the introductory sessions, each child was supplied with a packet describing the event and how their parents, relatives, and friends could become sponsors. Students had fun participating in this physical challenge and raised an impressive $3,010 for this worthwhile cause.

Star Power Learning Center

On Tuesday, April 24, second-grade students in Caryn McCabe’s class at Bellmore’s Charles A. Reinhard Early Childhood Center traveled to Winthrop Avenue School to join librarian Marjorie Falabella and technology assistant Carol Monaco on a visit to the Star Power Learning Center.  

During the visit, the students enjoyed a presentation about solar energy and participated in a discussion about the many uses of the sun, renewable and non-renewable energy, and the importance of solar energy. Additionally, the second graders were introduced to solar absorption, which helped them understand how the ultraviolet beads they have used to make bracelets absorbs the sun’s energy to turn a white bead into a colored bead. The class also learned how the Winthrop Avenue School is considered a “solar farm.”

“We don’t grow vegetables, but we help make electricity for our school and for our community,” stated Mrs. Falabella.

Kyla and the (Spelling) Bee

Two students from every sixth-grade class at Shore Road School in Bellmore competed for the title of Spelling Bee Champion. With their classmates and families cheering them on, the 16 students were slowly eliminated one by one until only two students – Paul Davis and Kyla Masarik – remained. By spelling “hygienist” and the winning word “insomniac” correctly, Kyla was named the Shore Road Grade Six Spelling Bee Champion. Both Kyla and Paul were given gift cards to Barnes and Noble as a prize.
