    • Superintendent’s Student Council

      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Superintendent's CouncilIt's not uncommon for high school students to gather together at lunch and talk about what they enjoy doing with their friends at school. What you might find surprising, is that once a month, a group of students meet with School Superintendent Dr. Walter Moran to share those thoughts and devise ways to foster change.

      The Superintendent's Council is in its third year in the Eastchester School District with freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors all playing equal roles. Students who were interested in joining the council filled out an application to participate for the school year and were selected by Dr. Moran. They represent a broad student body.

      "I want to help the school community and create positive opportunities for others," said junior Beatrice Norton.

      The council watches a brief video at the beginning of each 80 minute session that focuses on a particular ideal or concept, for example, resilience. The group then discusses how this word relates to the tasks ahead.

      Superintendent's CouncilEach member has a project that he or she develops that would enhance the District. Creating new clubs and courses and constructing ways to improve learning are among their ideas.

      Norton and fellow council member Laura DeLeon would like to create a STEM Club at Eastchester High School so students can continue their love of science outside the classroom. "We could have more fun with experiments, study many sciences and take part in more in depth labs and STEM projects," said DeLeon.

      Dr. Moran offers guidance and encouragement to the students and they discuss possible pitfalls that they could encounter with the goal to be resilient.

      Superintendent's Council"Ordinary people, living ordinary lives face challenges but inability can stop you in your path. But remember," said Dr. Moran, "do not feel that you have to go it alone."

      The 2018-2019 Superintendent Student Council members: Avery Joyce, Rocco Luciano, Sophia Magann, Anthony Naploli, Matthew Sinanis, Ana Wirengard, Laura De Leon, Nicole Disanto, Louis Gentile, Anna Racioppo, Isabella Rizzo, John Paul Roche, Kyoko Saito, Bailey Hunn, Beatrice Norton, Patrick O'Sullivan, Toni Cristiano, Victoria Fiteni, Julia Quetell.

      EMS Students learning tolerance

      Student Council members from Anne Hutchinson shared markers and crayons as they colored and signed a Tolerance Contract this week at their school.

      The children have pledged to be open minded, to accept and to learn from people who are different.

      "If you treat everyone with respect and kindness it will have a positive effect and everyone will feel welcome," said fifth-grader Danielle Dimurro.

      Students working on Tolerance activityStudents hope the contract will raise awareness about differences in their cultures.

      Each month the school community focuses on a word and the lessons it teaches.

      Throughout the month of January students will explore the concept of Tolerance to help them realize what we all have in common is that we are different.  

      EMS StudentThe idea is to prepare the students for their adult life where they will work alongside of people from a variety of cultures, backgrounds, ethnicities, and religious beliefs. Tolerance prepares students for a complex and global world.

      Young students may not be thinking about that right now but they already understand how tolerance can improve their daily lives.

      "I know people can be rude," said student Shaiel Hernandez Rodich. "When I was younger, I saw how some of my friends were left out."

      Many fifth-graders are also reading the book "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio which tells the story of a boy living with a facial disfigurement. The story drives the message home that every person – no matter how different – is a wonder.

      Biker and fansYou could feel the excitement and electricity in the air as motivational speaker and bicycle stuntman Chris Poulos prepared to complete his final exploit of the day at Eastchester Middle School.

      Poulos mounted his bike and jumped over Assistant Principal Madelin LoBue, and teachers Mary Kate Martucci and Amanda Carlson as they laid on the gym floor. The crowd cheered enthusiastically!

      On bikeHe spreads his message of living a positive life in a very unique way, riding his bicycle and sharing stories from his own childhood with young people from elementary schools through college.

      On December 21, Poulos spoke with sixth and seventh-graders in Eastchester before the holiday break. “It energizes me,” said Poulos. “They like what I do and I give them an affirming message that reinforces what they learn in school, and I have fun.”

      Picture of bikermanPoulos won 85 worldwide competitions including the National Bicycle Stunt Championships in the United States in 1990 and 1991 but he is best known for earning the 1991 Bicycle Stunt World Championship in Denmark at age 20.   

      A year later, he suddenly retired from the sport, returned to school and graduated with honors from the University of Rhode Island where he received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education.

      He returned to bicycle stunt riding with a passion to help others and with this mantra. “Treat people better than you want to be treated and you will earn respect. Others will want to be around you,” he said.

      Career Day

      Eastchester Middle School students got a head-start planning for the future. Eighth-graders attended a Career Day on December 21 where they had the opportunity to learn about a variety of fields and ask questions.

      School Board member Sally Veltidi who is also the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation for the Town of Eastchester was the keynote speaker. Veltidi told the students to think about what they enjoy doing and pursue those interests as they journey through high school and then college.

      Career Day participants included representatives from many areas including: marketing, finance, medicine, public service and fashion.

    • Independent Inquiry

      Independent Inquiry ClassroomWhen Nina Curtis enters John Blaser's classroom she clicks on the computer, opens websites and folders and gets down to work. She decides where to begin.

      "When you sit down and get a large amount of work done, you feel as if you have accomplished something for yourself," said Curtis.

      Student working on assignmentCurtis and her classmates are only in seventh grade but their Independent Inquiry Program immerses them in a college-like environment.

      Virtually all Eastchester Middle School students enroll in the class where they choose a topic from current events, school life or personal issues to research. At the end of the semester, they present a portfolio to an adult, usually a parent, which includes five pieces of work called Keystones, a "best piece" of their choice and a letter to the reviewer which introduces the portfolio and its contents. The culminating presentation about their topic is presented through a digital pencast using a Livescribe smartpen.

      The goal of the course is to learn and practice research skills, and understand a variety of software programs including Webspiration and Moodle. Different assignments throughout the course allow students to narrow their focus. 

      Independent Inquiry Assignment"This is blended learning," said Blaser. "The students work online but they also have face-to-face interaction where I can assist them with their project." Students can ask questions at any time during class in order to stay on track and refine their work.

      Curtis' project analyzes the negative effects cell phones. "People are getting addicted and not a lot of them think about it," she said.

      Her classmate Gianna Cassino is focusing on endangered species and the assistance they need.

      Both students enjoy the uniqueness of this program. "You can do assignments at your own pace and it is not like my other classes," said Cassino.
