Raising Money to Fight Leukemia
On April 10, 2014, the Bethpage High School Life Skills class and the Charles Campagne Student council joined forces to sell loom bracelets for a worthy cause.
This project was created by Mrs. Ceccoli, Speech –Language Pathologist and Mrs. Ardezzone, Teacher of Special Education. The project began with the Life Skills students making over three hundred colored loom bracelets that represented different charities and sports teams with the idea of selling them for a charity. The goal was to provide the Life Skills students with practical experiences using cash register skills and communication strategies to successfully interact with customers. Teaching assistants
Mrs. Spears and Mrs. Vezzi also provided support for students during the fundraiser. On Friday April 11, 2014, the Student Council students at Charles Campagne sold the leftover bracelets as the students requested an additional day to complete the fundraising project. The Charles Campagne school community surpassed expectations and generously raised $ 804. Thank you to everyone that supported this successful fundraiser.

Maritime Festival
If you ever plan on putting out grass seed wait until the Maritime festival dates are announced, you'll be sure to have rain! Despite the weather the Maritime Festival docked at Bethpage High School last week. The Forensic Science students put mysteries aside to change gears and become instructors in Marine Science. It was an opportunity for many high school seniors to gain experience as teachers. They did a phenomenal job educating all the district's third graders about the sea life found around our beautiful island. Mr. Hack (aka SCUBA Steve) amazed the visitors in our pool, while Mrs. Rankin and her students taught the third graders all about plankton and the marine food web. A highlight of the day was a 34" stripped bass caught by Mr. Carroll. Hats off to all the high school custodial and maintenance staff that help to make this yearly event such a success.

Argonaut Field Trip to Cold Spring Harbor DNA Learning Center
Prior to our visit educators from the Cold Spring Harbor DNA center visited each of the elementary schools and we explored what DNA was as well as created our own Baggy cells out of gelatin, beans, string, and spaghetti. Each item represented parts of the cell. During our visit to the center, we extracted DNA from bacterial cells and used microscopes to identitfy the genetic mutations of fruit flies. It was an informative and thought provoking, fabulous day!
Our chaperones Mrs. Marcis, Mrs. Caliguri, Mrs. Sedeita and Mrs. McGuire had a great time as well.

Accompanying the students for this 21st Century trip were Mrs. McGrath and Ms. Austin. We saw Glass’s Satyagraha at the Westbury UA Theater. For many of the participants it was their first Opera. We were all truly captivated by this performance despite the lack of subtitles. Many audience members complimented the Bethpage students on their spectacular behavior and interest in opera. They were also thrilled to hear that we are the only school district in Long Island that participates in the Metropolitan Opera partnership. Everyone is looking forward to the next Opera, which will be held in December.
