Due to popular demand, the program has expanded from 10 to 14 sessions. The program is available for all middle school students attending school in the Lynbrook School District, free of charge.  Activities include basketball, volleyball, board games or other activities chosen by the kids. 

Each session is open to ALL of our middle school students regardless of which middle school they attend.  The time for each session is 7:00-9:00 p.m. Water fountains are available for use in both schools.  If your child would like another drink, please have them bring it in a plastic recyclable bottle.  

Please be aware that the following procedure will be in effect for safety purposes.  Each student must sign in when they enter the building.  Students who choose to leave the building any time before 8:50 p.m. must be signed out by an adult before exiting or have a note from a parent saying it is permissible for them to leave on their own.   No child will be allowed to re-enter the building once they have signed out. We ask that you pick up your child promptly at 9:00 p.m. See the attached flyer for the schedule.  We anticipate another fun-filled year!

Yours truly, 
Mr. Steve Freifeld 
Teen Center Director

The Lynbrook Schools community traded their green and gold for orange on Oct. 16 as they took a stance against bullying in an annual recognition of Unity Day. 

Teachers, staff and students donning orange turned hallways and classrooms into a sea of anti-bullying symbolism. Each building throughout the district participated in activities that promoted kindness and understanding while teaching ways students can stand against bullying. At South Middle School, for example, students started the day by decorating their class doors with anti-bullying messages in a friendly competition. At Marion Street Elementary School, a kindness tree was covered with orange leaves made of craft paper contributed by each student in the school, while a kindness wall at West End Elementary School encouraged students to be the “I” in kindness. Additionally, schools gathered outside to stand as one an promote an Owl-themed message, such as an infinity symbol made by the more than 400 students who attend Marion Street. #OwlProud #OwlCares

In recognition of School Board Appreciation Month, students from throughout the Lynbrook School District presented a thoughtful surprise to trustees at the Oct. 9 board of education meeting. 

Marion Street, Waverly Park and West End elementary schools and the Kindergarten Center were represented by student leaders who read a tribute to the trustees. “To our wise board, with hearts so true, each decision you make helps our schools shine through,” read Waverly Park student Weston Schmieder. They each distributed bags filled with gifts such as wristbands and Lynbrook Owl themed keychains to board members. Each school also decorated a poster with messages of thanks that were covered in signatures from students.
