FJC kindergartners have been busy with their studies. Students in Nicole Fisher and Stacie Zumpol’s class conducted research on various farm animals and farm life. They each created individual informational texts titled “Farm Facts” and created an amazing farm display on the walls of the classroom. The culminating event of the unit was a field trip to the historic Benner’s Farm in Setauket to visit some farm friends and learn about life on the farm.

Students in JAE decorated infinity symbols in rainbow colors to create an Autism Acceptance Garden in the main hallway, which reads “Acceptance is an action. What are you doing to help it grow?”

Each grade level has their own tree. The students wrote words of love, kindness and acceptance on the symbols.

Thanks to teacher aide Mrs. Jasmine Perez, who created the trees and put up all student infinity symbols, and teacher Mrs. Gina Hale and Behavior Specialist Ms. Michelle Pfaeffle for guiding the efforts of the students in sharing JAE’s positivity and growth!

Thanks to fifth grade Academic Leaders Lily Cook, Gavin Damiano, Travis Giagios, Abby Villafane and Mallack Walsh for working with Mrs. Hale's students Shea Anderson, Blaze Carlino, Joshua Opitz, Leah Teague and Lia Veraldi and helping to create these colorful and inspiring messages!

Rocky Point High School AP Art and Design students recently displayed their talents at Suffolk Community College’s Art Exhibition at the Maurice N. Flecker Memorial Art Gallery. The show exhibits the work of students from over a dozen high schools across the region.

Two seniors received top honors for their work. Katelyn Fish took home the award for Excellence in 2D for her portrait titled “Betty” bringing attention to Alzheimer's disease and what it does to a human being. Isabella Rooney received an honorable mention for her piece titled “Pressure,” which explores how perfectionism and the struggle to achieve perfection affects people in different ways. Her piece illustrates the anxiety and “pressure” that high school students feel to maintain high grades.

“The high school art department could not be prouder of our extremely talented students,” art teacher Seth Meier said.
