This year, Ronkonkoma and Oakdale-Bohemia middle schools participated in the global Hour of Code initiative, an event designed to introduce millions of students to computer science through one-hour coding activities. The event, held during Computer Science Education Week, was led by math/computer science teachers Jennifer LaRose and Patrick Brady under the guidance of K-12 Director of Mathematics and Computer Science, Louise Burger. Over 500 students from both schools competed in coding challenges on the OYOclass platform, completing maze code playlists. The competition was fierce with students earning limited-time badges in OYO and prizes, including Slurpees and Big Gulps donated by local 7-11 stores. Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School emerged as the winner with the highest number of badge earners. Ronkonkoma Middle School’s Christian Buglione and Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School’s Jacob Ingraselino were chosen as badge raffle winners, each receiving a custom Connetquot Codster T-shirt. “It wound up being an enormously successful event where we saw student passions for coding and competitiveness come alive,” said Patrick Brady. “We will surely continue this event for years to come.”

The Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School chapter of the National Junior Honor Society was hard at work the first two weeks in December, collecting donations such as dog and cat food, treats, toys, blankets and cleaning products for the nonprofit group, Francesca’s Furry Friends. Francesca’s Furry Friends was started in honor of Francesca Gallo, who was passionate about helping animals in shelters during the holiday season. Francesca unfortunately lost her battle with leukemia in her teens, but the tradition she started many years ago continues with the help of the Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School National Junior Honor Society and their advisor, Mrs. Senia. Throughout December, posters were hung around the school, notifying students of this important event and announcements were made by honor society members each morning. This year, Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School collected over a dozen large bags filled to the brim with dog and cat food, toys, treats, collars, leads and blankets. On Dec. 8, all of the items were donated in Francesca’s honor to the Almost Home Animal Rescue in Patchogue.
