On April 15, over 120 Connetquot High School World Language students received the Seal of Biliteracy during a special recognition ceremony.

The Seal of Biliteracy is an award given by the New York State Education Department and Connetquot Central School District, recognizing students who have studied and attained proficiency in two or more languages by high school graduation. The recognition becomes part of the high school transcript and diploma for these students. It is a statement of accomplishment that helps to signal evidence of a student’s readiness for career and college and for engagement as a global citizen.

Ahead of receiving their certificates, students stood at the podium to reflect upon their experiences in connecting with cultures and languages and the benefits of working on their Seal of Biliteracy projects.

On April 15, Connetquot High School’s unified T-Birds played East Islip in a competitive game of basketball.

Outside of the gymnasium, artwork from Connetquot High School’s life skills art classes lined the hallways. Additionally, there were student-made items for sale such as tie-dye socks, beaded bracelets, snacks and delicious baked goods. All profits made from the fair were donated to the SEPTA scholarship fund.

Ahead of the game, Sycamore Avenue Elementary students signed the National Anthem, using American Sign Language. All in all, the event was a great opportunity for Connetquot students and families to come together for a great cause.

Connetquot students hosted peers from Bay Shore High School for a day of friendship and discussion during the Cultural Exchange Program. Bay Shore then hosted the T-birds two days later.

Students met and discussed academic programs, sports, music and peer support clubs as well as other opportunities offered at both schools.

The Cultural Exchange Program began with Bay Shore in 2012. The purpose of the program is to pair schools with diverse demographics to experience different environments and create friendships and bonds between our communities.
