8th Grade English Holocaust Project
8th-grade students are reading the book Night by Elie Wiesel. To further student's knowledge about the Holocaust they had the opportunity to virtually meet Donna Rosenblum. Ms. Rosenblum has been an educator for over 32 years- as a high school Social Studies teacher, a school librarian, Library Chairperson, and Supervisor. She works tirelessly to bring Holocaust education into school curriculums and library collections throughout Nassau County. She has conducted workshops for educators at the U.S. Holocaust Museum, Hofstra Summer Institute, and numerous other sites. Her 25 years of volunteerism at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, and the Holocaust Resource Center at Temple Judea, have given Ms. Rosenblum the opportunity to send an important and far-reaching message of tolerance to thousands.

Westhampton Beach Pubic Library Booktalk
At the beginning of the school year, our middle school library worked in collaboration with Westhampton Beach Public Library. Booktalks are a fun way to spread the love of reading, and Westhampton Beach Public Library Teen Librarians Ms. Victoria and Ms. Andrea provided our 8th-grade students with important information on how to access books from the public library during the Pandemic, and some of their favorite books!
