Max and Leo Johnson, from Cherry Avenue, made this empathy video to go along with the Sayville STRIDES theme this month. Bravo, boys!
The Padolecchia boys sent this to Heather Franze-Heuer, Sunrise Drive. They wanted to dress as the real superheroes and made a little thank you poster!

Dear Mrs. McCullough,
My Empathy project is called “Call It Forward.” During this social distancing time we can not see eachother but we can still call! I figured lots of people would be bored at home and maybe feeling lonely, so I decided to call 3 people to brighten their day. I called my Aunt Kristen, my Grandpa Ed, and my PopPop. I started a friendly conversation with them like asking how their day was and what have they been doing to keep themselves busy. After our conversation was finished, I told them about my project and encouraged them to call another 3 people and to keep passing it on. My family members were really happy that I was doing this special project and they said they would Call It Forward. I am hoping this spreads all around Long Island! That would be really cool! I hope this makes people happy and encourages them to keep it going and check on other loved ones as well! Happy Easter! #Call-It-Forward
Sincerely,
Mackenzie Carman
Sunrise Drive Teacher Eileen McCullough Responded: What a lovely idea! I'm going to take your advice today and call 3 people and ask them to keep passing it on. Keep up the great work!

Lincoln Avenue Second-grade Teacher Laura Moyer shared the Empathy Project of her student Austin Schutte and his sister Mackenzie who is in Sixth Grade. "I thought these were great!"
Mrs. Wendy Schutte explained: "Austin and Kenzie made a card and a bouquet of flowers for our mail person, Cathy. We see her everyday and wave through the door, but we wanted to do something special since she is out there everyday risking her health for all of us."
More from Lincoln Teacher Laura Moyer's Second-grade class: Sunday Shaw made a picture for the healthcare workers / essential workers and chalk art as a family project in their driveway.
