Twenty seven students from the Seventh Grade participated in the
NYS Earth Day Celebration Contest. 

They designed an Earth Day themed banner----over 75 feet long!---to wrap
one of the trees at St. Augustine School. 

The students submitted photos of their project to the NYS contest and received commendation certificates and a note from Senator Harckham's office.

Well done everyone!!  

Thank you to Mrs. Timko, their art teacher, for facilitating

the students participation in the

Earth Day Celebration 2023!

From Senator Harckam's office---

Dear Students,

Thank you for your wonderful contribution to the New York State Senate’s Earth Day Poster Celebration.   This year we received many outstanding posters that exemplify the creativity of the young people in the 40th Senatorial District.

Each entry from my District displayed tremendous originality and vision as well as obvious concern for the ecological future of our communities and our state.  I am proud of your work and that of your classmates, and encourage you to continue to study and learn more about the serious challenges that face our environment.

And I would like to offer my wholehearted congratulations to all of the participants in this year’s Celebration.  I also want to thank your family and give special thanks to your teachers, whose dedication and involvement in this event provided the encouragement for you to be creative and participate in the Earth Day Poster Celebration.

Sincerely,
Pete Harckham

The first Social Studies Fair in 3 years was held on March 8th.  Students chose their topics, did their research, developed their trifold presentation, and designed their costumes as if they were the people in history that they researched.  They presented their research papers several times over to a variety of impartial judges who scored them according to various factors, including how they could answer the judges queries on their chosen topic, their presentation skills, and the breadth of their research. 

Congratulations to all involved for an AMAZING FAIR!!
