In Swim
with Buddy the Betta
The Saga of Squeegee Beautiful turquoise betta seeking small, non-disruptive companion to cohabitate within fully equipped tank. Must be able to vacuum gravel and plant surfaces; windows a plus. So, some of you may be wondering how my new pal Squeegee the Snail fared. In short, not well. His stay was brief – less than a week, in fact – and quite unsuccessful. While I may have played a role in his untimely demise, I must say he didn’t seem very lively upon arrival. No matter how many times I tried to greet him {read: head-butted his shell repeatedly}, he never seemed to want to come out and play.
While disappointing, it wasn’t until my Human began depositing small “cookies” (algae wafers) into the tank for Squeegee to consume that my irritation set in. Why should this bizarre-looking golden shell of a creature have an even better menu to choose from than me? Here I was, forced to suck down my bland betta pellets, while HE had a giant wafer to inhale. Well, of course I couldn’t handle such a slight, and so, as soon as my Human would leave the room, I would knock Squeegee upside down and drag his cookie to the other side of the tank, where I would happily munch away at it. I think my Human was upset by this, as she kept muttering something about “crumbs” and what a mess I was making.
Isn’t that what the purpose of this stupid snail was to begin with? In any case, after four or five days, Squeegee stopped poking his head out of his shell entirely. Maybe it was starvation, since I did consume all his cookies. Maybe it was the concussion I gave him upon initially welcoming him to my abode. Maybe he wasn’t the healthiest snail in the tank to begin with. Whatever the reason, my companion was removed by the Human, with admonitions to “behave” and comments that I was a “little brat” who “couldn’t get along with anyone.” Well, fine then. Cancel the rental notice. This betta prefers to fly solo! Maybe I can still get a couple of those cookies to go though?

students then worked collaboratively to measure the distance that each shoebox glider travelled, much like National Transportation Safety Board agents, and assessed the repairs needed for a second attempt at flight. The NASA Shoebox Glider Challenge was the culminating activity for a lesson about the four forces of flight including lift, drag, weight/gravity and thrust. The students
first brainstormed ideas, researched designs, analyzed wingspan, reviewed the principles of aerodynamics and studied design and width to ultimately promote the lift of their gliders. Based on their glider’s ability to fly, they then went back to the drawing board to improve their aeronautic vehicles and to update their oral presentations outlining the design process.

The Merrick Board of Education recognized students for their creativity and artistic accomplishments during its May 10th communication meeting. Three students from each school received a certificate of honor from their art teachers for their participation in the 12th annual Nassau All-County Art Exhibition. More than 1,200 students in grades K-12 were recognized for their exceptional work in 2-D visual arts media. In addition, students from Birch and Chatterton schools were acknowledged for their advancement
to the state level of the National PTA Reflections program. The respective schools’ principals and assistant principals presented each artist with a certificate of recognition. The Reflections program encourages all students to explore and be involved in the arts by reflecting on a common theme, which this year was “Let Your Imagination Fly.” Entrants are asked to create an original work of art in one of six categories: dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts.
All students recognized during the meeting were also honored as Merrick Stars for the month of May, earning them a red “Merrick Star” T-shirt. Merrick Stars is an award program that recognizes staff and students who go above and beyond to help the school community. The district congratulates all of the students honored at the meeting. For a complete list of honorees by school, visit www.merrick.k12.ny.us/ pages/Merrick_UFSD.

Seniors Shine at Symposium Continued From 7 Talent Search and Intel International Science semifinalist), Steven Obadiah, Evan Rothchild, Amanda Steinberg and Alexis Tillman completed graduate-level scientific research on a wide range of topics. They worked alongside professional mentors, logged hundreds of hours in laboratories and some
were even published in medical or scientific journals. They formed hypotheses and tested them – again and again. “I’ve learned not to look at something just at its surface, but to rather investigate in order to find answers and explanations,” said Steinberg Their projects were a labor of love that required a staunch commitment. “One of the most
important things I’ve learned over the past three years is to be persistent,” said Le Van. “Even when things look grim, you can always turn it around and get something out of it.” For others, the program was a lesson in perseverance and selfassurance. “I learned to believe in myself,” said Rothchild.

Connecting with Vets Eric Montana, a senior at Meadowbrook Alternative Program in the BellmoreMerrick Central High School District, is shipping off to Marine recruit training in South Carolina in two weeks. The recent meet and greet between his fellow classmates and the organization, Vet2Vet, allowed him to express his admiration for these individuals who served our country. “World War II was the greatest generation of individuals,” he said. “You
brought up this nation. Hats off to you for your service.” Veterans and their spouses from the Bristal Assisted Living facility have met twice over the past few weeks to exchange life experiences and future plans. “We are bringing our [history] lessons to life here,” said Social Studies teacher Geisha Kwiatkowski. “It also gives them an opportunity to experience different viewpoints of current

Several hundred works featuring Levittown’s MacArthur High School’s most dedicated and talented artists were on display during the school’s annual Art Show on May 18th, which not only took a closer look at the works of the best and the brightest artists, but also encouraged peers to explore their creative side. Curriculum Associate for Art Frank Creter noted the show is a culmination of a year’s worth of work and collaboration between talented students and
their teachers. It is also the first year the school is showcasing the art of advanced middle school studio arts students. “Beyond applying a medium to a surface, or simply satisfying an art assignment, students inevitably learned that art communicates, evokes emotions and can serve as an outlet for otherwise ineffable ideas,” Mr. Creter said. Many of the photographs, sculptures, drawings and paintings were selected for exhibitions
and scholarships across the region, including the All-County exhibit, Long Island’s Best, PTSA Reflections, Advanced Visions 11: High School Artists of Excellence and New York State Sen. Kemp Hannon’s Best in Town exhibits. Principal Joseph Sheehan said he is extremely proud of the students’ artwork. “It is truly remarkable what the students can do with a piece of clay, camera, pen and paper to create such masterpieces,” he said.
Levittown Lesson Northside Elementary School fifth-grade students in Levittown learned what it entails to pass a bill into law during a visit with New York State Assemblyman Tom McKevitt.
Mr. McKevitt explained that a bill is an idea that someone wants to make into a law and that there are approximately 11,000 pending in Albany today. He also described the

Art Showcase
process by which a bill is passed into law, including sponsorship, debate and voting. “When I vote for a bill, I vote for you,” Mr. McKevitt told the students.

Author Appearance Wantagh Middle School students received a firsthand account of the writing process during a visit with fantasy author Nicoline Evans. The author of “Nether Isle,” “Hall of Mosses,” “Evo: The Elements” and more told the students that writing is a solitary process and sharing her works with students is a pleasure.
“Writing at first was daunting and scary, but the best thing you can do as a writer is not give up,” she told the aspiring middle school writers. During her presentation, Ms. Evans shared her inspirations for writing fantasy novels, writing techniques and process for choosing book cover artists. She also explained
how she lives a little bit in each of the characters she develops in her stories. To the students’ delight, Ms. Evans also read her children’s book titled “Blue Spots.” “My writing stemmed from a love of reading,” Ms. Evans said, “and I am happy my books have found a home.”

Four-Legged Lesson The students in Brett Schwartz’s eighth-grade Reading Lab at Merrick Avenue Middle School were given a special visit on May 25th. Detectives Brian Wasserman and Gary Rogers of the Nassau
County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals stopped in after receiving heartfelt and well-researched letter about animal abuse written by student John Palumbo. John’s letter was part of a “writing for the real
world” project, in which Schwartz’s students were tasked with choosing a global issue, researching it, coming up with a creative way to solve it and, most importantly, sharing their ideas with a professional in the field.

Innovation Award
School-Business Partnerships of Long Island (SBPLI) was among those honored at the Fourth Annual Imagine Awards, founded and presented by Cerini & Associates and presented to the region’s top non-profits, on Tuesday, May 3rd, at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, New York. SBPLI was the winner of the Empire National Bank Innovation Award for the organization’s innovative approaches to meet its mission and dedication to offering hands-on opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to Long Island youth. One of the most popular initiatives SBPLI offers is a continuum of competitive robotics programs for children and young adults known as FIRST® (For Inspiration and
Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics. Over 135 non-profits submitted applications to the Fourth Annual Imagine Awards. Applicants hoped to win a $5,000 grant in one of five categories: Innovation, Leadership Excellence, Rising Star, Social Entrepreneurism and Social Impact. Of the many exceptional applicants, only 20 nonprofits were selected as finalists and one in each category was ultimately awarded the grant. A sixth organization was provided a Fan Favorite Award through an open online vote. The Imagine Awards encourage commitment and success in Long Island’s non-profit sector. “We are so excited to be presented with this recognition and honor from Empire National Bank
and Cerini & Associates,” says Joani Madarash, former Executive Director of, SBPLI. “Everyone in this entirely volunteer organization works incredibly hard each year to provide Long Island youth with the ultimate in STEM experiences, and it is wonderful to be acknowledged for our efforts by such prestigious organizations.” This year’s winners included Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island, Best Buddies New York, the COPE Foundation, Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth (LIGALY), Family and Children’s Association and SBPLI. SBPLI is currently offering sponsorship opportunities to local businesses for the 2017 Long Island Regional. For more information, please visit www.sbpli.org.
The Advanced Science Research program at Sanford H. Calhoun High School strives to fuse classroom knowledge with practical experiences throughout. “There is no better way to learn how to be a scientist than through the ‘doing’ of science,” said ASR teacher
Jennifer Pefanis. This year’s Science Symposium celebrated the work of the students, the dedication of their mentors and the support of their parents and families. In addition, 13 seniors were honored for their success, hard work and perseverance.
They include: Sanjida Chowdhury, Asim Ahmed, Noelle Perrone, Rachel November, Jacob Miller, Paulina Fein, Haley Ryan, Julianna Casella, Nicole Fegan, Noel Mahabir, Katherine Ryan, Louis Lin and Brian Kishinevsky.

Autism Support autism awareness T-shirts, designed by student Thomas O’Mara, for the school’s Day of Awareness. The Key Club also donated $500 through ticket sales for a skate-a-thon this past April. NSASA President Suzanne Reck said the money is earmarked for Long Island events that afford families the chance to participate in activities
that would otherwise be difficult without the support of the Autism Society of America. “MacArthur High School has raised more money than any other school on Long Island,” she noted. “This supportive school community has helped a lot of people. The simple things you can do, these students and families cannot do.”
