2007-08 News Highlights
  A few highlights of the news at Aquebogue

"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

's "Odyssey" Team Brings Home a Trophy
(March 26, 2008--Riverhead, NY) Aquebogue Elementary School's "Odyssey of the Mind" Team brought home a second place trophy in its first foray into the "Odyssey of the Mind" competition!

When asked, "Who came in first?" Fourth grade teacher Linda Borenstein stated, "I have no idea. When we heard our team came in second in their division I was so shocked that I couldn't remember anything else that happened. It was our first year in the competition and we were really just there for the experience. I'm so proud of these students. They worked very, very hard. They gave up recess; came in on Saturdays and always said, 'YES' when I asked them to spend time working on our entry. They deserve to be recognized for their outstanding effort and ability to work as a team." >More

Black History Month
Black History was celebrated throughout the District during the month of February in assemblies, during morning announcements, on bulletin boards in classrooms and in hallways, in newsletters and through a plethora of other ways. Students at the Aquebogue Elementary School celebrated Black History Month during an assembly that featured singing, dancing, drumming, children’s games and a Parade of Famous Black Americans. >More

The Aquebogue PolyBear Project
(November 2007) Get ready for another amazing full-scale sculpture project from the art T.E.A.M. at the Aquebogue Elementary School.

All 435 students at the Aquebogue School will collaborate with Aquebogue art teacher Maureen Ahern, Marta Baumiller, a professional sculptor and milliner, and Cliff Baldwin, a professional artist, in making three or four large recycled polyethylene polar bears from thousands of plastic shopping bags collected at the school.

With this outdoor sculpture project they hope to bring attention to climate change and the plight of Polar Bears and other creatures living in the arctic region. By recycling bags, they will also learn about all the plastic created on earth and how we can reuse it. >More

  A few highlights of the news at Aquebogue

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.

Hoop, Hoop, Hooray!
(March, 2007) Aquebogue Elementary School PE teachers,
Danielle Altman and Ken Marelli, challenged their students to participate in a fundraiser for the American Heart Association as part of their regular basketball unit in their PE classes. The students took up the challenge and encouraged their friends, neighbors and relatives to pledge money for their efforts on the basketball court. On February 14th, Valentine's Day, the students at Aquebogue threw their hearts into shooting "Hoops for Hearts."

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)!
