On Friday, November 8, Connetquot students took part in special assemblies, put on inspiring musical performances, gave dedications, made donations, recited poems, listened to veterans share their experiences and wrote letters to honor our community’s veterans. As a school community, we would like to thank our veterans for their service today and every day!

For Sycamore's Pumpkin Project, each class worked together to decorate a pumpkin! Students, faculty, and staff had the opportunity to place a quarter down to vote for their favorite pumpkin on display. The money raised will be donated to the Tunnels to Towers Foundation on behalf of Sycamore Avenue Elementary School. Afterward, all pumpkins were donated to The Arbors facility in Bohemia for residents to enjoy!

Each summer, Connetquot promotes a summer reading challenge for its elementary students through the public library. The building that reads the most wins an assembly, and this year, Sycamore Avenue Elementary was the winner!

Steve Petra, “the school assembly ventriloquist”, visited Sycamore Avenue with his interactive show called, “Reading Rampage”. Throughout the assembly, Steve brought students onstage for demonstrations and challenges as they interacted with a wide cast of bizarre character puppets, including The Brain, Pierre Lobsterre, Demento and Gus the Word Bird.

The show featured original songs and music, illusions and audience participation all centered in grade-level appropriate segments on vocabulary, spelling, punctuation and more.
