Throughout the week of March 22, students at Bowling Green Elementary School celebrated Music in Our Schools Month with a music-themed spirit week, highlighting different genres each day. Pictured are students dressed up as country singers on March 24.

In honor of Music in our school Months, schools in the East Meadow School District created videos for the 2021 East Meadow Music Department Showcase. According to the National Association for Music Education, MIOSM is an annual month-long celebration when schools and communities celebrate music in their local schools and the educators who dedicate themselves to bringing music into the lives of students every day.

Please enjoy these videos from our elementary schools and stay tuned for showcases from the secondary level!

Students at Bowling Green Elementary School participated in fun St. Patrick's Day-themed activities last week to celebrate the holiday.

Third grade students in Laura Baez’s class conducted a St. Patrick's Day fizzing experiment using vinegar, baking soda and food coloring to create a fizzing reaction in a leprechaun pot. The students were asked to note the different smells and sounds they were experiencing.

Additionally, Cathryn McCann’s first grade class decorated shamrocks for their “Lucky to Be a Family” project. They added family pictures, pet pictures, stickers, decorations and sayings to their shamrocks to show what makes their families special.

At Bowling Green Elementary School, students wore fun hats in honor of the book “The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins” by Dr. Seuss.

Students at Barnum Woods and Meadowbrook elementary schools constructed and wore Dr. Seuss hats. At Barnum Woods, Patty Kelleher’s kindergarten class created their own Thing 1 and Thing 2 replicas out of construction paper. Additionally, kindergarten students in Shayna d’Auteuil’s class at Meadowbrook worked on Dr. Seuss-themed flip books.
