New Visions Students to Videoconference With Astronauts on Expedition 22

Seventy-five students from New Visions Elementary School will have a rare opportunity to speak to astronauts aboard Expedition 22 as they orbit the Earth. The youngsters will take part in a half-hour videoconference at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City on April 20.

To prepare for the encounter, Rick Angler, an educator from the museum, visited the school to teach students about space exploration.

“If you were going on a trip to space, what would you need to take with you?” he asked a room full of second-, third- and fourth-graders.

FHS and Columbus Collaboration

I am writing to tell you about a wonderful event which took place in December, 2009 and is still on-going.  This is also a public thank you note to Wendy Lindner and her students in the AP Psychology class at Freeport High School.  

My Columbus Kindergarten class won a lottery to go to Build-A-Bear in Roosevelt Field.  We were the envy of our entire school.  When Mrs. Lindner and I got to speak, she explained that she was trying to make some developmental psychologists like: Erickson, Piaget and Kohlberg "come alive" to her adolescent students.  Many emails between Alma Rocha, Peggy Miller and Ernie Kight and Mrs. Lindner solidified the logistics of combining the very different age levels and schedules.  Mrs. Lindner and her students worried that no one would be interested.  Were they wrong?
 
FPS Students Win the Peace Poster Competition

Freeport Public Schools participated in the Shanti Fund Gandhi Jayanti Celebration in October 2009. The theme was Peace Through Media and the Peace Concert was held on Tuesday night, October 13, 7:30 PM, at the high school. This celebration, co-sponsored by the Shanti Fund and the Office of the Arts, outlines how peace begins with us; living in harmony with one another, the Earth, and all Circles of Life. This movement, Pathways to Peace was envisioned in 1945 and incorporated in 1983.

Two winners from the Freeport Public Schools won the Peace Poster Competition. These were: Luis Zepeda from Nicolas Alberti’s class at Dodd Middle School and Mica Gerald from Cathy Rode-Flores’ class at Freeport High School. Every school was represented in the competition and all of the artwork was on display the night of the concert.

This will be an on-going project throughout the year.
