Lynbrook Public Schools students in each elementary school building became reading rockstars as they completed numerous literacy-themed challenges during Pick a Reading Partner week from March 4-8.

PARP returns to Lynbrook Schools each year with engaging initiatives that get students excited about reading both inside and outside the classroom. At home, students read “Pizza and Taco Rock Out” by Stephen Shaskan with their parents. Students brainstormed questions for Mr. Shaskan, who made a virtual visit to students on March 12. Submitting questions also entered students into a raffle for prizes, including gift cards for local eateries and a skating session at Newbridge Arena. Throughout the week, students also followed daily themes, such as dressing up like rockstars or making a visit to the public library.

Lynbrook High School students in the Diversity Club and Culture Club rang off the Lunar New Year at Marion Street Elementary School as they led an engaging craft activity on Feb. 16.

Through their visits to elementary students, Diversity Club and Culture Club members get experience hosting lessons that they put together. Starting off, they walked students in grades 1-5 through the traditions and history surrounding the Lunar New Year, including why the current year is the year of the dragon. The high schoolers then handed out materials and helped their younger peers put together craft dragons in celebration of the holiday. In Christine Castellano’s class, fourth graders got creative with colors before cutting out their dragons and making puppets for a parade. Several high schoolers got the chance to visit younger relatives in the classroom, such as freshman Evan Cao who spent time with his younger brother, Christopher.
