The Connetquot community came together for an evening of reading, writing and student achievement on April 10 at the district’s 14th annual Library Literacy Celebration, presented by the district’s library media specialists. The event showcased an impressive collection of student work from every school in the district, including original poems, stories and essays. Hallways were transformed into literary galleries, highlighting students’ talent in reading and writing. Families also joined in the fun through a bookmark-making station and a scavenger hunt in which students uncovered letters around Connetquot High School that spelled out a secret word. The Connetquot Public Library also held a raffle drawing for attendees. A standout moment of the evening was a special reading by student-author Meghan Miller, a junior at Connetquot High School, who shared her published children’s book, “The Great Adventures of Martha Mae”. Inspired by her real-life pet hamster, Martha Mae, the book began as an assignment in her ninth-grade children’s literature class and was completed in a sophomore creative writing course. Meghan detailed her two-and-a-half-year journey to publication in a question-and-answer session after the read aloud. The evening culminated in a book signing, where excited young readers lined up to meet Meghan and have their copies of “The Great Adventures of Martha Mae” personally signed by the author.

Connetquot High School was buzzing with energy, creativity and talent during the annual Showcase of the Arts, held on April 4. Parents, students and community members had the opportunity to peruse hundreds of elementary and secondary-level artwork, and attended multiple concerts and performances in the auditorium. Director of Fine Arts and Music Vincent Malafronte thanked the community for attending the event and the faculty for sponsoring such fine workmanship. “Because of the support from families and the community, we are able to provide opportunities for our students that showcase their creative talents,” Mr. Malafronte said. The performance schedule included the Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School kickline, Ronkonkoma Middle School kickline and Connetquot High School’s color guard and kickline. Elementary school-level student musicians also showcased their talents in the districtwide orchestra, ukulele, band and chorus ensembles. There were also more intimate performances by the high school’s chamber orchestra and the middle school chamber orchestra.

Mr. Gelardi and his team from the Department of Environmental Conservation visited Ms. Sullivan’s seventh grade science class, bringing along tree cross sections for students to investigate. During the visit, students deepened their understanding of photosynthesis and tree growth while also reinforcing math skills such as measuring, averaging and calculating circumference. To make the experience even more memorable, they were joined by special guest, Darwin, an Australian blue-tongued skink!

Ronkonkoma Middle School seventh and eighth graders in Ms. Pope, Ms. Atkins, Ms. Doherty, Ms. Perry, Ms. Flynn, Ms. McAleavey, Mr. Hauser, Ms. Halverson and Ms. Steininger’s math classes celebrated Pi Day by measuring the circumference and diameter of circular objects. Among the objects were Play-Doh, Oreos and cups. The students measured each circular object and then divided the circumference by the diameter to obtain a value as close as possible to pi (3.14 centimeters). By measuring, the students realized it didn’t matter the size of the circle; any time a circle's circumference was compared to its diameter, the value divided to equal pi!
