Rocky Point High School students created another memorable performance when members of the Pocket Theater staged a spine-chilling turned side-splitting “The Hallmarks of Horror.”

The school district commends all those involved in embracing the performing arts.

When Middle School and High School students and staff were called upon to gather much-needed items for two Suffolk County nonprofit animal organizations, they stepped up to donate canned food, blankets, accessories, treats, carrier beds, crates and more. Middle School students in Jennifer Gordon’s Family and Consumer Science class took the ask a step further and created stuffed animal-friendly toys: dog “bones” and cat “mice.”

Mrs. Gordon was excited to team up with Patchogue-based Almost Home Animal Rescue and Nesconset-based Paws of War, which received the collected items for their 7th Annual Thanksgiving Shelter and Rescue Drive.

There’s so much to see at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade!

Students in Mrs. Carrie Casswell’s first grade class at Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School learned the amazing and true story of Tony Sarg, the incredible puppeteer who created a long-lasting gift to America – the first parade balloons in 1928. Together the class read “Balloons Over Broadway” and were inspired to plan, design and create their own animal balloons. The students then paraded in the halls of FJC to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving.

Whoever said turkey basters are solely for basting a turkey? Using engineering and problem-solving skills, Mrs. Perri and Ms. Kuhn’s science classes at Rocky Point Middle School kicked off the Thanksgiving holiday with a “Turkey Baster Races” lab. The students used turkey basters to make their pingpong ball go the farthest.
