On May 16, students at Waverly Park had the opportunity to travel the world without leaving school during the annual Multi-Cultural Day fair. Families proudly represented their heritage, showcasing countries including Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Ecuador, Italy, Albania, Greece, Israel, Egypt, South Korea and Japan.

Students teamed up with their reading buddies to explore a variety of cultures, traditions and customs. As they visited each country’s table, they collected stamps in their brochures, creating a fun and educational keepsake from the day.

The school was alive with cultural pride as students, parents and teachers dressed in traditional clothing. Many tables featured hands-on activities such as flag giveaways, cultural games and beaded bracelet-making. It was a vibrant and meaningful celebration that brought the Waverly Park community together in a spirit of curiosity, respect and joy! #OwlProud

Lynbrook’s Flight School is thrilled to announce the launch of our first-ever Module Three for grade 4, titled Our Renewable Future. In this unit, students explored solar energy as a follow up to their previous studies on wind and waterpower. They learned about the benefits and importance of solar energy and how it can be harnessed for practical use.

As part of an engineering design challenge, students designed a solar-heated tank for pet lizards. Using thermometers, they measured and monitored temperature changes over time while incorporating conductors and insulators to maximize heat retention.

Recently, our middle school guidance counselors visited the elementary schools — Waverly Park, West End, and Marion Street — to meet with fifth graders and discuss the transition to sixth grade. It was a great success! 

Additionally, the Director of Athletics and the Director of Counseling collaborated with Northwell Behavioral Health to host an “Athletes and Mental Health” event for our high school athletes. The goal was to help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health. Student were present and engaged.
