    • Jazz Co.
      Mon, Jun 10, 2019, 10:28 AM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Jazz Co!Our youngest Jazz Co. dancers from Anne Hutchinson and Greenvale lit up the stage on May 16 performing for their families.

      Director Stephanie Leone coordinates the after school program that provides a foundation for dance and high school instructors teach routines with the assistance of supervisors. The dancers learn basic choreography and movement that evolve into the routines executed on stage.

      Jazz co performersFor some children, this is their first experience with dance. “It’s amazing to watch the dancers’ evolution from February through May as well as from fourth grade through high school. The true beauty of the program occurs when the students become the teachers and the high school dancers return to choreograph and teach the middle school numbers,” said Leone.

      Many of the dancers continue in Jazz Co. through Eastchester Middle School and Eastchester High School and they describe the experience as belonging to a second family.

      DancingOn May 21, the EMS Jazz Co. company performed for their classmates during a school assembly and then presented their show to family and friends in the evening.

      The performances would not be possible without the support of the Eighth Grade & Boys Supervisor - Stacy Monteiro, Seventh Grade Supervisor - Samantha Kearns, Sixth Grade Supervisor - Mary Kate Martucci, Anne Hutchison and Greenvale Supervisor - Mary Kate Martucci, and Support Staff - Alyssa Massi and Kaitlyn Anderse

    • Social Skills Ceremony
      Wed, Jun 05, 2019, 12:33 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Social Skills CeremonyWhen Jayanth Das searched for a school for her son Rohan, she wanted a nurturing environment. The Eastchester mother discovered that at Greenvale in the Social Skills Program.

      Students posing“It was not easy in the beginning but his peer mentor helped. He was able to play at recess and his peer mentors opened up another social environment.” Four years later, Rohan is ready to move up to Eastchester Middle School.

      It was a bittersweet moment for Das and other families on May 31, when their children received certificates at Greenvale’s Social Skills Ceremony. Throughout the school year, children are paired with   peer mentors and enjoy free time on the playground or inside during inclement weather.

      More studentsMatthew McDonough said one of the games showed him how to understand emotions. “This has taught me lessons that I will take through my entire life.”

      “I enjoy playing with people and getting to know their unique personalities,” remarked Samantha Messina.

      Other students spelled out the word ‘Friend’ with pictures they painted and explained what makes a good friend.

      Colette Donato and Jessica Stern are the Directors of the Social Skills Program at Greenvale.

    • Colonial Day 2019
      Tue, Jun 04, 2019, 01:41 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Colonial DancingFourth grade students from Anne Hutchinson and Greenvale took a step back in time when their schools turned into Colonial Villages.

      Students and parents dressed the part last month as they visited classrooms transformed into workshops. The children learned about each job or activity and then tried it themselves. 

      Churning ButterThey dipped wicks into wax to make candles, churned butter and explored the art of stenciling and tinsmithing.

      Students discovered life was very different. “In colonial times it was strict and stern,” said Dylan Coughlin. “It was harder to be a child because you spent the day working and you couldn’t be a regular kid.”

      Colonial OutfitsEastchester students spent some time in the Dame School where they participated in a spelling bee.

      They took a break and played games, listened to music and danced. Then the students enjoyed a lunch of chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, corn bread and desserts.

      Coleman Perkins couldn’t decide what he liked best. “Everything was awesome. Reading about it you can get an idea, but when you go here, you experience it!”

      Thank you to the Anne Hutchinson and Greenvale PTA’s for sponsoring these events.

      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Receiving awardProud students, parents and family members reflected on this school year Thursday during Eastchester High School’s Annual Scholastic Awards Night.

      The head of every department recognized freshman, sophomores, and juniors who excelled in their subject areas, showed enthusiasm, effort and expertise.

      Award winnersEHS Principal Dr. Jeffrey Capuano commended the students for their drive. “You decided to create your own future, to set a foundation. Others made the choice for a fresh start.”

      “I was an immigrant and scared, but determined to do my very best.” She encouraged them never to give up. “If you want it bad enough and you are willing to work, you can accomplish it.”

      The program opened with the presentation of the Top Ten Percent of the senior class and the introduction of this year’s Valedictorian, James Fong and Salutatorian, Juliet Liao.

      Book Awards were presented to approximately two dozen juniors, Honor Role students were also recognized.

      The ceremony closed with the Principal’s Award for Excellence: Grade 9: Victoria Farella; Grade 10: John Fahy; Grade 11: Ciara Fay.

      Tue, Jun 04, 2019, 12:53 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Lighting CandlesStudents walked into the Eastchester High School library carrying a red carnation, the flower representing Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica, the high school Spanish Honor Society.

      Thirty new members were inducted into the organization on May 29 during a candle lighting ceremony that recognized their achievements and dedication to the Spanish language and culture.

      Students signed an official register for Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica and pledged to promote friendship and understanding between lands.

      Spanish teachers Edward Crespo and Maria Travieso-Davidson also attended the ceremony.

      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Teacher at Science Honor Society“Science is so valuable because science increases our fundamental knowledge, creates new technology dreams up new applications and creates pathways to share ideas.”

      Students at Science National Honor SocietyEastchester Science teacher Dr. Suzanne Wilson inspired new members of the Science National Honor Society sharing her love for the subject and what it offers.

      A former chiropractor who practiced for 20 years, Wilson is certified in Chemistry, Biology, and Health. She said science acts a foundation for the clothes we wear and the food we eat.

      Approximately 40 students were inducted in the Science National Honor Society on May 20, after demonstrating a high level of academic achievement in the sciences and participating in peer tutoring or the Science Olympics.

      Wilson also reaffirmed the values of research and encouraged the young women in the honor society to enter into the fields of chemistry and engineering.

      Advisors Christian Gorycki and Robert Ross presented certificates to the new inductees.

    • International Day
      Wed, May 29, 2019, 11:18 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      International Day!With passport in hand, Greenvale third graders took a trip around the world without ever leaving their school.

      On May 17, the Greenvale PTA transformed classrooms into different countries, complete with caves and castles that were filled with artifacts about each region.

      Teachers and students at International Day!The children visited Kenya, Scotland, Japan, Australia, Mexico, and Egypt where they were greeted by parents dressed in traditional clothing. They discovered more about the culture and geography of each new land. They learned words in Swahili, wore kimonos and discovered the legend of the Loch Ness Monster.

      After a discussion, the students completed a craft.

      “I love being part of the experience,” said parent Susan Gaines who welcomed students to Kenya. “It gives a sense of what is outside Eastchester.”

      Third-grader Natali DeLeon enjoyed making a fan when she visited Japan. “I like learning about different cultures.” 

      PTA Co-Chairs Loriane and Karin Messina organized the event and many parents volunteered as tour guides and ambassadors.

    • Different Abilities
      Wed, May 29, 2019, 11:16 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Theater GroupWhen Eastchester Middle School students arrived at The Prospector Theater in Ridgefield Connecticut, employees greeted them with cheers.

      What sets the theater apart from others is that 70% of its employees are adults with varying levels of physical or intellectual disabilities.

      Prospector Theater Students“The mission of the theater is to provide meaningful employment to people with disabilities and to decrease the stigma of disability,” said EMS Guidance Counselor Kristen Spillane who attended the trip on May 7. “This helps the general public see the employees for what they ARE.”

      The employees are affectionately referred to as “prospects” and they partake in every job at the theater from marketing, to landscaping, to selling popcorn and serving as ushers.

      During their tour, students observed a chandelier created from items like a film reel, a bicycle tire, and an old red wagon. Spillane explained, what seemingly appears to have no purpose forms a home together and makes people happy.   

      The “Popcorn Taste Testing” station proved to be the favorite stop along the way where students sampled mocha chip, toffee and caramel flavored popcorn – all made by prospects.

      Students and chaperones enjoyed a bucket of popcorn as they watched home-made movie previews. A prospect playfully rapped movie etiquette “turn of our phones unless we want to sit alone!” Then it was time for the film called “Sparkle Island” which was written, produced and featured prospects.

      After enjoying some pizza and conversation, the tour guides taught the students how to make bows from old movie posters that are used on customers’ gift cards.  

      Spillane said, “We learned there are new jobs created all of the time for a wide variety of abilities.”

    • NAMI Walk Raises Awareness and Funding
      Wed, May 29, 2019, 11:12 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      EMS Students at NAMIThe Eastchester School District joined together at the National Alliance on Mental Illness Walk on May 18 to show their support and acceptance for those whose lives have been affected by the disease.

      Team EMS Cares raised $1,200 from pledges and an additional $173 from lunch-time donations.

      EMS Students show signsSeventh-grader Sofia Caballas walked with her family. “It wasn’t about walking or exercise, but the fact that I knew I was doing something good for people.”

      EMS started a chapter of the SAVE Promise Club – Students Against Violence Everywhere – a national movement that formed after the Sandy Hook school shooting.

      Eastchester students spread the message of acceptance during May, National Mental Health Month, by hanging posters and holding conversations.  Morning announcements also included mental health facts and statistics including: one in five children ages 13-18 has, or will have a serious mental illness

      School Psychologist Barbara Virtuoso mentors the students and was excited to see how, for the first time, the school community joined the NAMI Walk. “This makes you feel less isolated and allows for the support that so many people need.” Next year she wants to get more families involved.

      “I know some people who are affected by mental illness and I thought it was a good idea to help out,” said seventh-grader Navya Arora.

      Families interested in joining the NAMI walk next year should contact Barbara Virtuso at bvirtuoso@eufsdk12.org
