You’ll see plenty of red, white and blue at our schools throughout June, as the entire district celebrates the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding this summer. On June 1, our schools kicked off the festivities with assemblies at the elementary schools discussing the origins and evolution of the Stars and Stripes.
Throughout June, students of all ages will partake in America-themed lessons and activities, such as creating quilts with national symbols, playing games and sports of the 1700s and 1800s in gym classes, baking and cooking early American meals and treats, and appreciating the veterans who served and protected the country.
In May, the district and Locust Valley Chamber of Commerce teamed up to display student artwork at many local businesses. Thanks to this partnership, 117 students had their incredible works decorate storefronts that showcased the talent of these artists and the strength of our community.
Thank you to all the businesses who took part in our celebration!
