On April 2, Northeast Elementary School’s STRIVE staff in Amityville were recognized during World Autism Awareness Day for their tireless work and dedication of supporting the district’s youngest learners.

World Autism Awareness Day kicks off a monthlong effort for schools and organizations to focus on sharing stories and providing opportunities to increase understanding and acceptance of people with autism and fostering worldwide support. At Northeast, Principal Dr. Pauline Collins hosted a special luncheon in her office for all of the STRIVE staff members.

The district would like to thank Northeast’s STRIVE staff for continuing to go above and beyond for our students.

Second graders at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville recently took part in the PSEG Safety Sleuth Program, in which they learned important lessons about staying safe around electricity.  

Through engaging activities with Northwest librarian Ms. Heavey, students discovered what to do in case of an emergency and how to recognize potential electrical hazards. After mastering these safety rules, the students teamed up in pairs to create colorful and informative posters, each highlighting one key safety rule they learned. Their posters will be entered into the PSEG Safety Sleuth Poster Contest, allowing them to showcase their knowledge while promoting electrical safety in a creative way. 

The district wishes Northwest’s second graders the best of luck in the poster contest.
