On Aug. 27, West Babylon Senior High School rolled out a warm welcome to the incoming Class of 2029 during ninth grade orientation. Principal Steve O’Leary introduced students to the school’s policies, procedures and expectations before they set off to explore their new building alongside their guidance counselors.

Freshmen walked through their schedules, practiced opening their lockers, and familiarized themselves with their new surroundings. The day wrapped up on a sweet note as classmates connected, made new friends, and enjoyed ice cream together to celebrate the start of their high school journey.

West Babylon Junior High School has an ongoing collaboration with the West Babylon Public Library to display K-12 artwork throughout the school year in the children’s section of the library. 

The current exhibit features sixth and eighth grade artwork on display in July and August. Ms. Alfano’s eighth grade classes created flower portraits using colored pencils. Students applied their understanding of primary, secondary and tertiary colors, along with tints and shades. Students were limited by the use of only primary colors along with black and white to develop their work, pushing their understanding of color theory. 

The sixth grade students created animal zentangles using micron pen and watercolor pencils. Students chose an animal that represented them and used a variety of techniques using micron pens and watercolor to create unique pieces with a likeness of their animal. Students learned about mindfulness through zentangle techniques.
