    • History Museum
      Fri, Feb 15, 2019, 03:00 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Egyptian artJake Stevenson held up a replica of a brick from the Great Wall of China and explained how it exemplifies the Han Dynasty.

      "The Great Wall of China was constantly being built, expanded and mended. It represented the rise of China's might because it needed to protect its trade and it was breeched during the fall of China."

      Samples of Egyptian ArtMaryann Cusano's ninth-grade Global Honors class have turned the Eastchester Middle/High School library into a history museum. The brick is just one of many items that you will find.  Students created masks, maps, buildings and diagrams of language systems.

      All the artifacts represent their study: The Rise, Height and Fall of Classical Empires throughout history.

      The students investigated the Roman Empire, Gupta Empire in India, The Persian Empire and the Han Empire in China.

      While studying the Roman Empire, the group made an association between the laws we have today and what was created so very long ago.

      More art"We learned how history repeats itself and it is interesting to see how far the human race has come with technology and advancements," said Madyson Diaz.

      Cusano first presented the assignment to the students as a contest. Each group took other students on a tour through their display and discussed his or her dynasty.

      The project teaches about cultural differences and how cultures interacted with each other through history.

    • JazzCo: A Weekend of Dance
      Mon, Feb 11, 2019, 12:33 AM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Full CastEastchester High School students felt the music as they danced on stage during the Jazz Co. weekend of dance.

      Meghan McCloskey found it difficult to find the exact words to describe the excitement. "Waiting backstage is stressful and when the lights are off, it is intense. But when you are on stage, you let it all out."

      "EnsembleIt all comes together. Each grade has a role to play and there is a rhythm," explained senior Emily Rozario.

      The EHS students describe Jazz Co. as a family, not an afterschool activity or club. This year there was something extra-special as Jazz Co. celebrated its 35th Anniversary during the weekend of Feb 1 - Feb 3.

      "Jazz Co.'s Weekend of Dance was the ultimate celebration of the art of dance," said Artistic Director, Melissa Lieto-Cuomo. "The dancers stunned crowds with their talent and put on the best show in all of Jazz Co.'s 35 years of performances! Bravo dancers!"

      Dance groupChoreographers from around the country worked with the high school dancers over ten weeks to perfect their routines for the 26 dances that range from Broadway favorites to popular songs.

      While watching the finale with its 125 dancers, it is hard to believe that Jazz Co. only had approximately 15 members when the group started in 1984. Founder Charlou Woodrow wanted students who were not enrolled in sports to have the opportunity to dance. Girls and boys can participate in Jazz Co. in the elementary schools, middle school and high school.

      SoloThe finale which is a medley of Gloria Estefan songs has remained the same for years and each year students participate in different small group performances.

      On each of the five year anniversaries, alumni are invited for a gathering during the show weekend. This year, more than 40 alumni from the classes of 1992 through 2018 joined in the last section of the finale.

      Many others came back to enjoy the show and remember their time on the EHS stage. They shared their talent with the company, helping them to grow and thrive. The alumni gathering was organized by Jazz Co. alumni Claire Connolly and Melissa Crai who are active in the school community and founder Charlou Woodrow.

    • Harlem Wizards at Eastchester
      Thu, Jan 31, 2019, 01:23 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      The crowd cheered, children played on the basketball court and music filled the Eastchester High School gymnasium, Friday, January 25, in anticipation of the Harlem Wizards taking the court.

      For the 12th year, The Eastchester School Foundation sponsored this friendly and fun-filled competition between the Eastchester All Stars and the Wizards.

      Administrators, teachers and staff made the plays as the Harlem Wizards performed their tricks – stealing the ball, laying on the court and making jokes!

      The event raised more than $15,000 for grants that will support programs throughout the District.

      “We are so grateful for the support of the families who came out and the teachers who shared their sense of humor and their Friday evening on behalf of the Foundation.  We are also indebted again to our elected leaders for their continued sponsorship of the evening and the grant program,” Foundation President George Winn.

      This year State Senator Shelley Mayer made her debut as the event sponsor and Eastchester Town Supervisor Anthony Colavita returned as the half-time show sponsor. The Foundation also appreciates the support of Westchester County Executive George Latimer and Westchester County Legislator Damon Maher who attended the event.

      Eastchester High School junior Nicolette Mancini opened the night with a moving rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

      “We are having a blast,” said Physical Education teacher Shane O’Connor during halftime. “We are playing our best but the Wizards are tough competition. We welcome it for the Foundation.”

      Audience members weren’t the only ones who enjoyed themselves. “I like making people smile, making people laugh,” said “Swoop.” The Harlem Wizard has played in Eastchester for the past five years. “It is a highlight for me. The energy here is amazing, the kids are always excited.”

      Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this sold-out event such a success!

    • Middle School Kindness Week
      Mon, Jan 28, 2019, 09:39 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Student working on project"No act is too small when it comes to kindness."  "Be respectful." "You are one in a minion!"

      Finished projectEastchester Middle School students wrote these encouraging words on paper during lunch periods last week as part of the school's Kindness Week. Hundreds of notes will form the Wall of Positivity that will be created on the second floor.

      Eighth-grader Sofia Giamei drew a Kindness Cowboy - a yellow smiley face wearing a cowboy hat. "It will make people smile," Giamei said.

      Proud students showing off their hard workStudents kicked off Kindness Week decorating their classroom doors. Room 222 earned the First Place distinction with balloons and the phrase, "At EMS, we lift each other up!" Another popular activity was Secret Admirer, where students wrote anonymous notes, sharing words they may not be comfortable saying face-to-face to fellow students.

      "Someone could be insecure and seeing the note they will feel better," said seventh-grader Antonella Bruno.

      "The students are reaching out to people that they might not normally reach out to and that that they admire. We hope the this generous spirit and examples of kindness follow them throughout the whole year," said Guidance Counselor Kristin Spillane

      Luis Marquez, a seventh-grader said, "This teaches lessons about kindness and inspires people. It will make the school better as a whole."

    • Book Binding
      Thu, Jan 24, 2019, 05:44 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Book Binding:

      When a group of Eastchester Middle School students visited the library last week, they didn’t check out books, instead they made them.

      The students used four sheets of paper and folded them to create the pages called signatures and then added another sheet of paper for the cover. They had to punch holes in the binding and sew the book together. 

      “I love reading and writing and that is why I wanted to come here and make a book so I can have place to write,” said seventh-grader Constance d’Epinay.

      D’Epinay’s brother, Alexandre who is in sixth-grade, created a book of his own. “I wanted to try something new. It is challenging but with endurance and patience, I can make this.”

      More than a dozen students enrolled in the two-hour Bookbinding workshop on January 18 that was funded through the Eastchester School Foundation.

      Jennifer Verbit is a Book Binding teacher from the Center for Book Arts in New York City and visits schools and libraries.

      “There is such a freedom making your own book and then draw and write in in it. The bigger joy is self-accomplishment when they show it to other people,” said Verbit.

      “The process entails much patience and focus,” remarked Eastchester Middle School Library and Media Specialist Eleanor Schuster. “The value is in the process, the listening, observation, patience, the sequence, the detail. This is not instant gratification, but the reward is tangible: Each student left the workshop with a beautiful hand-made book to treasure and the joy of creativity.
