This is the fifth year that Lollo’s class has carried on the tradition of learning about making sandwiches for a cause. Grillo’s Deli in Islip contributed by donating all of the Boar’s Head deluxe ham for this class project. “It is a wonderful way for our young students to learn about helping others during the season of giving,” Principal Catherine Glaser said.

Music Courses Music courses can have a profound impact on students, potentially helping them perform better in other subjects. A recent study from the American Psychological Association found that high school students who take music courses score significantly better on exams in subjects like math and science than their nonmusical peers. The improved academic performance was more pronounced among students who learned to play an instrument rather than vocal music. The researchers behind

the study examined the records of more than 112,000 students in British Columbia. Among the students whose records were studied, 13 percent had participated in at least one music course in grade 10, 11 or 12. Researchers discovered that, on average, children who learned to play a musical instrument for many years and ultimately played in a high school band or orchestra were the equivalent of roughly one academic year ahead of their peers in regard to their English, mathematics and science skills.

residents of the Town of Islip. Emceed by New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, remarks were given by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer; U.S. Congressman Andrew Garbarino and Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine. Clergy members

from the Catholic, Muslim and Jewish faiths delivered moving blessings and the Central Islip High School Choir directed by Choral Director John Anthony, wowed the crowd with their performance. Suffolk County Surrogate Court Judge Vincent J. Messina, Jr. administered Supervisor

Angie Carpenter’s oath of office followed by her remarks to the audience. “We have worked so hard for all of our residents, and the job is not over yet. We look forward to continuing to improve our infrastructure, including projects to make Town Hall more accessible, finish our Serenity Garden

Project which will provide a community space that residents of all abilities can enjoy, continuing to expand Air Service at our own Long Island MacArthur Airport, and so much more,” said Supervisor Carpenter. “I am proud of what we have achieved together, and I cannot wait for what

lies ahead. Some tease about my endless optimism and energy, but I can’t help but be optimistic about the future of our Great Town. Today, as we welcome new members of our Board, it re-affirms my faith that we are on the right course, and that we have so many good days ahead,” said Supervisor Carpenter.

Caroling Choir Spreads Cheer The Islip Fine and Performing Arts Department held its annual district caroling event on Dec. 21. This year, Islip Middle School students in the seventh and eighth grade choirs were invited to participate to give them the opportunity to work with Islip High School musicians in grades nine through 12. After a quick warmup at the high school, students loaded the buses for their first stop at Maud S. Sherwood Elementary School. After a quick setup of the piano and

microphones, the choir spread out across the aisles of the auditorium and immediately started singing a collection of holiday tunes reflecting the season and different cultures. Elementary students sang and danced with the older students, some excitedly seeing their older siblings. Teachers also had the opportunity to see the upperclassmen return to their old schools. After Sherwood, the students traveled to Wing Elementary School

to perform for kindergartners and first graders, and then gave a special lunchtime performance to the prekindergarten students. Then it was off to Commack Road to spread more holiday cheer. At the end of the day, the high school students performed one last time in the main office and over the PA to the entire school. The caroling choir is rehearsed by Dr. Rich Harris, the high school choir director, who also teaches

choral lessons at the middle school this year. He rehearsed group holiday songs with both choirs, and students also had the chance to audition for solos. “Our high school students still have fond memories of when they were in elementary school and the caroling choir visited,” said Director of Fine and Performing Arts Michael Hershkowitz. “It’s one of everyone’s favorite moments of the year.”
