In recognition of Earth Day, students at Forest Avenue Elementary School created their own “greenhouses” and planted wheatgrass seeds. Students have been learning about the importance of sunshine and water in caring for their plants. Students will monitor their plants over the next several week and observe their growth while caring for them.

On April 3, Forest Avenue Elementary School participated in a teddy bear clinic sponsored by the trauma center at Good Samaritan Hospital. Students in prekindergarten through second grade had the opportunity to become doctors and nurses to their stuffed animals during the event. 

During this injury prevention program, participants learned about car and helmet safety in a fun and interactive way and dressed up as medical professionals to take care of their injured stuffed animals. Health Club members from West Babylon Senior High School were on hand to assist in teaching the safety lessons and help the elementary students in caring for their injured animals. While there, the high school students also learned about careers in the public health sector from a Good Samaritan outreach coordinator.

Fifth graders in Mrs. McNeely’s class at Forest Avenue Elementary School took their love of reading to the next level with a special book club luncheon. Students picked a book that interested them and brought it to life through a creative cereal box book report. They explored their book’s theme, analyzed the characters and crafted engaging summaries on their cereal boxes. To celebrate their hard work, students gathered for a themed luncheon, where they proudly shared their projects and discussed their reading. Their presentations sparked excitement and inspired classmates to explore new reads.
