"Make Every Day Earth Day"
(Earth Day, 2008--Riverhead, NY) There is an earthiness to the atmosphere at the Aquebogue Elementary School. On a warm day with the wind from the south a breeze brings an olfactory reminder that the duck farm is still just down the road. That earthy smell is a gentle reminder of Aquebogue's rural beginnings. The sign outside the school's main entrance, with boats on the bay, reminds us that the bay is indeed just a short walk away. It should be no wonder then that this school capitalizes on its location and Earth Day/Arbor Day to remind its students of how important it is for them to be caretakers of the beauty that surrounds them. >More

Every Day is Earth Day at Aquebogue
“Earth Day is every day!”--reads a poster in one of the District’s schools—and that was certainly the case in April at the Aquebogue Elementary School. The “Book of the Month” was Someday a Tree by Eve Bunting. Ms. Bunting’s book inspired an array of writing projects and was the basis for scientific and literary discussion throughout the month.

Aquebogue's Bottle Bug
(October, 2006) Aquebogue Principal Phil Kent's favorite school acronym is T.E.A.M. It stands for "Together Everyone Achieves More." The "Bottle Bug" project is a perfect example of Aquebogue teamwork in action. It contains 750 detergent bottles, is over 40 feet long and approximately 40 inches high, contains over 25 different colors, and has noodles for antennae and light globes for eyes. Follow up on the Bottle Bug: It made the March edition of Scholastic News (Front cover and two inside pages)!
