Thank you to all the schools for participating in the monthly CSH Unites collaboration of “Music in Our Schools Month for March.” Hallways and lobbies echoed in the morning with the sound of music! Various student groups took part in showcasing their talents in chorus, band and orchestra during morning arrivals.
Celebrating 21 years of the Literary Luncheon! Each year, the CSHPTG (Jr./Sr. High School parent/teacher organization) sponsors their largest fundraiser, the "Literary Luncheon." All funds raised support the Cultural Arts Programs brought in for all the schools in the district
Global School Play Day was a huge success at Goosehill!. Kicking off the event was a schoolwide assembly, where physical education teacher Rory Malone discussed the importance of cooperation, sportsmanship and compromise. He was joined by school psychologist Kristin Schmid, who explained how to problem solve during play and introduce yourself to a new friend. Goosehill also welcomed the collaboration of the high school Social Action Club who shared and helped facilitate their favorite games with the students and assisted them as they transitioned to different classrooms and play stations.
Each year, the SCOPE Education Service Award dinner is held to honor recipients chosen based on exemplary records which shine brightly as models of educational excellence. School districts can nominate three recipients in the service areas of: Administrator, Community, School Board, Teacher and Support Staff. This year, the district honored the category of Support Staff to Nancy Fastuca (West Side Aide), Karen Spehler (District Publicist) and Denise Vigilo (High School Administrative Assistant) .
Goosehill students channeled Van Gogh’s paintings of Sunflowers in art class with teacher, Katrina Albanese. Van Gogh’s sunflowers are among his most famous, painted in the south of France, in 1888 and 1889. The sunflower paintings had a special significance for Van Gogh: they communicated ‘gratitude.’ Ms. Albanese channeled her own unique creativity by having the students use balloons to make the flowers – brilliant!
What happens in CSH when you mix a little friendly competition with fierce camaraderie? A Charity Sports Night beyond expectation! It was reminiscent of a hometown Superbowl – where the crowds cheered for their favorite team! Banners and pom poms were flying high for Goosehill, Lloyd Harbor, West Side and the Jr./Sr. High School. Faces were painted, team jerseys and even fat heads swayed in the rafters.
2024 SCOPE Awards for Excellence Recipients: Nance Fastuca, Karen Spehler and Denise Vigilo
March 4 was “Read Across America Day” which celebrates Dr. Seuss’s birthday each year by reading, decorating and even dressing up in his honor! In the words of Dr. Seuss, “The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” At Goosehill, Library Media Specialist, Marissa Urso, engaged the students with a giant book share on the big screen, where they all read aloud together.
