CLASSES START THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH

West Islip Union Free School District concluded its four-week Summer Investigations program on July 31 with a magical final week centered on fantastic fiction, fairy tales and fables. Through hands-on literacy and STEM activities, students combined imagination with problem solving

while exploring some of their favorite classic stories. During English language arts lessons, students compared and contrasted fairy tales and fables, learning that fairy tales are written to entertain while fables often feature animal characters and teach

life lessons. They read classics including “The Gingerbread Man,” “Little Red Riding Hood” and “The Three Little Pigs”, while discussing fractured fairy tales and how authors use unexpected twists and surprise endings to reimagine familiar stories. In the STEM lab, students rotated through

a series of engineering challenges inspired by their literary adventures. They created magical slime to help a wizard save his kingdom, designed sturdy bridges from craft sticks, cups and index cards to rescue a dragon, and experimented with melting crayons to create a rainbow of colors for

a fairy's kingdom while learning how heat changes materials. Students also put their engineering skills to the test by designing bridges from LEGO bricks and magnetic tiles to help the Gingerbread Man safely cross the river. The engaging activities encouraged creativity, collaboration and critical

Summer Investigations Ends On A Magical Note thinking while reinforcing literacy and STEM concepts. The themed week provided a fun and memorable conclusion to the district's Summer Investigations program, allowing students to continue learning through exploration, imagination and hands-on discovery throughout the summer.

Did You Know? Supporting small businesses ensures more money stays in the communities those businesses serve. The U.S. Small Business Administration says $48 out of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community. On the flip side, when a person spends $100 at a big-box store or

a national chain, only $14 remains in the community. Local businesses are more likely to utilize other local businesses, such as banks, service providers and even farms. Small businesses also pay employees, many of whom are local and shop local, thereby keeping even more dollars in their communities.

A strong agricultural sector is vital to a healthy economy. Turbulence has affected local and national economies in recent years, and the global economy has endured its own ups and downs during that span. Though there’s no one-sizefits-all solution to economic struggles, consumers can make a difference by supporting local agricultural producers. Job creation and economic output are two major reasons to support local farmers, and consumers can do that in various ways.

•A ct as an advocate for local producers. Consumers have considerable power, and that power can be exercised in numerous ways. Supporting restaurants that source food from local farmers is one way consumers can exercise their power. But consumers can also advocate for local farmers by supporting legislation and candidates that prioritize building and supporting a strong local agricultural sector. Consumers can also advocate for local farmers by sharing their experiences via social media, word-of-mouth recommendations, or writing positive reviews through aggregators like Google Reviews.

Fun Ways To Close Out Summer After a few months of fun in the sun, it can be difficult to admit that summer will soon be over. Lazy, hazy days likely filled the calendar, with time spent poolside or at a beach. Just because summer is winding down doesn’t mean that all the relaxing fun must cease. Families can extend the fun a little longer with these ideas that can help everyone ride the last of the summertime wave. The fair is in town The end of summer tends to be fair season. Fairs and carnivals offer an assortment of entertainment all under one roof (or tent). In fact, many people live a short drive away from a fairgrounds, and residents can check the schedule posted on a municipal website. Fairs also are commonly advertised

in newspapers and on signage. Fairs have rides, carnival games, livestock shows and contests, food on a stick, and musical performances. They can be ideal ways for families to find something

want to maximize the end of summer with a vacation. July tends to be a peak month for summer vacations. While August also is popular, prices and crowds tend to drop by late August, meaning families may be able to score good deals the longer they wait. Local summer In many beach towns, the crowds thin considerably after the Labor Day holiday. And beach entry fees may be waived after Labor Day. Families needn’t say goodbye to seaside adventures just because the calendar flips from August to September. There are plenty of warm days still in store. In fact, waiting until the crowds dissipate can make local beach towns and amenities more enjoyable.

most about the summer and what they’re looking forward to doing in the weeks to come. Summer may be singing a swan song, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had in the waning weeks of this popular and fun season.

Your Own Meals

Aging men and women may be tempted to eschew home cooking entirely. After all, there are plenty of convenient frozen or take-out foods available that can be whipped up in a snap. However, there are certain benefits to cooking your own meals. John Moore, DO, an Aetna medical director and senior health specialist, says that cooking can be good for helping to stave off cognitive decline. Dr. Moore notes that, when cooking, the mind is put to use following a recipe and learning new skills and tasks. Furthermore, cooking for oneself can boost seniors’ selfconfidence, reassuring them that they can handle an important daily task without having to rely on their family for meals. As long as it is deemed safe (i.e., no sign of cognitive decline or forgetfulness), seniors should be encouraged to continue cooking.

Affordable Summer Entertainment Options Summer is full of opportunities to rest and unwind. It’s also a prime time for people to embark on vacations, road trips, or take in activities around their hometowns. According to InsureMyTrip, millennials prefer to travel the most during summer. July is repeatedly ranked highest, with Transportation Security Administration volume records indicating that various dates during July are particularly busy times for travel. Summer is synonymous with school breaks and time off from work, and it makes sense that people will look to entertainment options to fill their time. But not everyone has the budget for lavish two-week vacations or big-ticket excursions. Fortunately, having fun doesn’t have to involve going broke. The following are some low-cost options for active daily or overnight adventures when the mercury rises. Local sports game While the draw of a Major League Baseball stadium certainly has its merits, unless inexpensive tickets can be secured, more local options may be a more budget-friendly fit. Minor league games can provide the thrill of watching sports without the high price tag. Plus, they draw smaller crowds and are closer to home for most fans. Fairs and carnivals The average cost of a day at an amusement park can be eye-opening. BestLifeOnline.com says major park tickets for a family of four now range from $370 to more than $1,100, depending on the park’s luxury level. Smaller regional parks may have lower-priced tickets, but even then, costs can add up when considering food and drink, too. Church carnivals and local county fairs tend to be much more affordable and offer similar thrills and games. Day at the beach Few things can be more relaxing and fun than spending time by the ocean. Families and friends can spice things up by picking different beach locales and packing the car to check them out. Create a list of possible beaches to visit on weekdays or weekends. Purchasing beach tags well before the start of the season can reduce the costs of beaches, as some charge around $10 to $12 per person for daily rates. But there also may be plenty of free or low-cost options. Summer offers plenty of affordable activities and adventures close to home.
