    • Internet Safety - Words Matter
      Sat, Oct 12, 2019, 10:36 AM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Class"You have the power to help people or to hurt people."

      Retired NYC Police Detective Thomas Grimes challenged eighth-graders at Eastchester Middle School to make a choice and decide whether they would utilize the internet in a positive or negative way.  

      PrincipalDet. Grimes spoke candidly about internet safety, predators and cyberbullying during an assembly on Oct. 10. The former NYPD detective formed NY Finest Speakers, a company that seeks to protect and educate young people and their parents about online safety and drug awareness.

      He explained to the EMS students that the words privacy, respect, compassion, decency and civility should regulate all online activities.

      "If you understand these words and apply them to what you do online, you understand the power to be heard worldwide," said Det. Grimes.

      Det. Grimes showed the students pictures of real people who used the internet to help police capture criminals or reunite families with lost children. He also shared photos of young people, just like themselves, who made poor choices that often led to tragic consequences.  

      Students said the presentation reaffirmed some of the things that they already knew but it also provided them with new and useful information.

      Eighth-grader Julia Naclerio said she learned about the power of a text.  "How much a text can mean to people. You should be aware and not ignore what it is written."

      Det. Grimes also addresses parents and sixth and seventh-graders in separate assemblies.

    • Bucket Fillers
      Tue, Oct 08, 2019, 01:19 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Students working on Bucket FillersAnne Hutchinson students are bucket fillers, not bucket dippers.

      Throughout September, the students wrote positive notes to each other and Lisa Cartolano's fourth-grade class placed those notes in small buckets.

      Ms. Cartolano's fourth-grade classWhen the students read them, you could see smiles on their faces. "I felt happy because it is nice tothink that everyone likes you and that people say nice things about you," said student Georgia Cesarini.

      She also discovered, "When you write a note, it brightens up someone's day."

      The entire school read the book, "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" by Carol McCloud, which focuses on the themes of giving, caring and sharing. In the story, everyone walks around with an invisible bucket that can only be filled with acts of love and kindness.

      During one recent class, students wrote more notes while listening to a song about bucket filling. "It felt good. Someone was kind," noted Nora Ademaj.

      Students in Ms. Cartolano's class read several more stories in the series. The fourth-graders also created

      their own book, where they wrote a word or phrase based on a letter of the alphabet. For example, "F" for feeling fantastic while being friendly.

      The students were surprised when they returned to school after the Anne Hutchinson Open House and found notes from their parents.

      "The concept can be carried throughout the whole year," explained Cartolano. "It is important for the students to think about the impact that they have on others and how it feels to be positive."

    • Perfect Placement
      Mon, Oct 07, 2019, 10:52 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Eastchester High School student-athletes received real-world advice about the college recruiting process to assist them as they plan their future.

      MLB Agent and speaker Mark Leinweaver of Perfect Playcement spoke to the athletes, their families and coaches in the EHS auditorium on October 2 and explained the dynamics of the process.

      Leinweaver's 90-minute talk focused on academics first. "For me, it is about choosing the right college and not the right program. The students need to figure out what they excel at in class, their extra-curricular activities before they talk to an athletic director about a program."

      He also stressed building character and preventing bullying. "An athlete needs to be a leader on and off the field. The bullying problem is real and everyone has to play a part."

      "It is crucial for the student-athlete, parents and coaches to gain a perspective and to appreciate the college recruitment process," said EHS Athletic Director Jason Karol. "They will be able to make the correct choice with more information."

      Students also learned the best way to approach a prospective college coach and why, in some instances, a Division III team may be a better option than a Division I team.

      Sophomore Tino Dimurro wrestles and runs Cross Country. "My biggest take-away is that you have to figure out what you want and not listen to what other people say you should do."

      Junior Mia Murrell wants to play volleyball when she graduates from EHS and said the evening offered her information she didn't anticipate. "I learned about the decision-making process, how to speak with coaches and finding the right fit instead of just looking for the highest level."

      The Eastchester Athletics Department partnered with the Pelham Union Free School District and Athletic Director Stephen Luciana to bring Leinweaver to the District.


    • Rainbow Day
      Mon, Oct 07, 2019, 09:36 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Students with rainbowThe colors of the rainbow brightened Nicole Ullrich’s kindergarten class as students completed their color week unit.

      Rainbow classOn Friday, the class dressed up in their best rainbow outfits and created a huge rainbow to display in the classroom. 

      To make the rainbow, the students used magazines to search for objects of different colors. They cut them out and classified the pictures on a tree map. The children couldn’t believe how big the tree map grew by the time they completed the project. Students took turns gluing all the pictures on the class rainbow.

      The tree map helped us figure out where to put the objects on the rainbow because they were already sorted by color.
