Mohansic First Graders Shine at BOE Meeting

On January 27, our incredible first-grade students from Mohansic took center stage at the Board of Education meeting to share their "out-of-this-world" learning about the sun, moon, and stars!

From exploring shadows and sundials to demonstrating the phases of the moon and constellations, these young scientists wowed us with their knowledge and creativity. A special thank you to the teachers, staff, and PTA for making these hands-on learning experiences possible.

We’re so proud of our students for their hard work and enthusiasm for science!

Brookside Brew Crew Builds Connections

Brookside Elementary School’s Brew Crew is proving that sometimes the smallest ideas have the biggest impact.

Designed for students in Mrs. LiCalzi and Mrs. Vaglica’s classes, the Brew Crew gives students the opportunity to run a fully operational beverage cart, serving coffee, tea, and hot chocolate to staff each Friday morning.

Students rotate weekly through roles like collecting orders, preparing drinks, and making deliveries. Along the way, they gain valuable skills such as counting money, sequencing tasks, and writing thank-you notes. At the same time, the program fosters essential social-emotional learning skills, helping students build confidence, practice teamwork, and form meaningful connections with staff members across the school.

Funded by a District Innovation Grant (iGrant), the Brew Crew has become an invaluable part of Brookside’s community and truly exemplifies #TheYorktownDifference!
