Students Set Out to Solve the World’s Problems

Students Set Out to Solve the World’s Problems 2 thumbnail177455
As part of a recent library project, Pulaski Street Elementary School students researched world issues they care about and created digital stories that they submitted to Nickelodeon’s and Britannica’s media channels and websites for a chance to be featured.

The project called for students to identify a global issue and, using resources in the school’s virtual reference collection, take a deep dive into the problem. Their research led them to write about the issues and design digital stories.

“The awareness that students can be part of a solution to our global problems is essential,” said library media specialist Amelia Estevez Creedon. “Students need to feel that they can affect change and are not powerless.”

The lesson also focused on the importance of reference material. “One of the most important lessons in library media is that media can be used responsibly to carry impactful messages to the world,” said Creedon. “I want my students to be responsible citizens and participate in a society in an active and productive manner.”

Riverhead PE Teacher Kicks off Cancer Awareness Campaign

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Aquebogue Elementary School physical education teacher Cherese Hinckson has commenced two cancer awareness projects in conjunction with her fellow educators.  

Throughout October, students across the Riverhead School District’s elementary schools are participating in a 50,000 Burpees for Cancer Awareness campaign. During their physical education classes, in-person and virtual students are being challenged to complete as many burpees as they can in a given time period, based on their age. With the help of their gym teachers, they are logging their burpees, which are then displayed on a thermometer graph at Aquebogue Elementary School. Their cumulative goal is to hit the 50,000 mark.

“The purpose is to bring awareness, through exercise, of how important it is to fight [cancer],” Hinckson said of the campaign. “Each burpee will show the strength of our students while representing those that are suffering from this disease.” 

The district’s elementary students and staff are also participating in a dedication ribbon project throughout the month. Participants receive a lavender paper ribbon, representing all cancers, that they can decorate and inscribe with the names of anyone they know who has been affected by cancer. Once complete, the ribbons will be displayed in Aquebogue’s main hallway.

1 thumbnail177288
To pay tribute to Riverhead hero Garfield M. Langhorn Jr., Riverhead Central School District’s Pulaski Street Elementary School recently dedicated the second Friday of each October as Garfield M. Langhorn Day.

With that, the first Garfield M. Langhorn Jr. day was celebrated on Oct. 16. Throughout the day, students learned about Langhorn’s life and why he is a hero. Each class incorporated Langhorn’s story into their lessons, and during lunch periods, Principal Patrick Burke spoke to the students about Langhorn’s heroic actions and students shared their stories of family members who served their country.

The school also created a webpage in honor of Langhorn. It includes his life story and photos.

Langhorn graduated from the Riverhead School District when Pulaski Street served as the district’s high school. He was killed in action in Vietnam on Jan. 15, 1969 when he thew himself on a live grenade to save fellow wounded soldiers.
