      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Current and past HS Academic Challenge Team Members came together on January 11 to host the second annual Matthew DeMarco Memorial Middle School History Bee, an action packed competition filled with tension, laughter and fast buzzing on topics as diverse as Winston Churchill, the Hundred Years War, Edward Snowden, Monopoly, Roe v Wade, Jackie Robinson, world geography and the defenestration of Prague. Who knew history could be so exciting? The HS Academic Challenge Team did! The team ran a fantastic event, with the first and second place winners, eighth-graders Alexander Sabelja and Gerard Mazzone, who were awarded automatic free entry to the NY State Regional Finals of the National History Bee.

      The online exam to qualify for the regional Bee is open until January 25, 2019 and any student interested in history is encouraged to take this free exam and try to qualify for the NY Regional Finals.

      The registration for the exam and other information about the History Bee can be found at: https://nationalhistorybee.com /

      All donations from this event go to the Matthew DeMarco Memorial Scholarship Fund, a 501(c)(3) providing scholarships to students at EHS.

    • The Art of Japanese Calligraphy

      Japanese CaligraphyYou could hear a pin drop in the Anne Hutchinson art room as students learned how to draw Japanese characters called kanji.

      The fifth-graders first practiced on newspaper using black ink and then made a final drawing for the Anne Hutch Arts Festival in May.

      Student making Japanese CaligraphyMembers of The Japanese Activity Committee have been sharing this traditional art form at the school for about 15 years and they have been meeting with Gina Zohar’s art students during the month of January.

      Parents and some students first presented a brief history of Japanese Calligraphy and then demonstrated how to draw the kanji representing the words flower, star, and their names.

      “It helps them appreciate different cultures and promotes understanding,” said Zohar. “Teaching their peers also adds value to the children who are presenting.”

      Aoi Matsumoto remembers how difficult it was to learn English when he first came to the United States and he enjoyed helping his classmates with calligraphy.

      “I want to share the culture so they can appreciate it and we can make friends,” said Matsumoto.

      Student displaying Japanese CaligraphyClassmate Ava DiBenedetto agreed. “I like the part about learning what things mean and writing my name. I am going to practice and show my family.”

    • Superintendent’s Student Council
      Sat, Jan 12, 2019, 04:52 PM
      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.
