  • It was a Big “Diehl” Send Off Parade!

    After 33 years of teaching, Ms. Diehl bade farewell to her Lloyd Harbor and West Side students and colleagues. At Lloyd Harbor, Ms. Diehl shared her final “words of wisdom” on LHTV and to her surprise she opened the door only to find hallways crowded with the entire school bidding her farewell with flowers signs, balloons, hugs, cards and many tears. She traveled the hallways to find the entire school lined up cheering and clapping! At West Side, an assembly was held on her last day there, filled with students sharing favorite memories, cards, flowers and so much love! Ms. Diehl began her career teaching kindergarten and fourth grade in Queens and made her way closer to home when she arrived at Lloyd Harbor School in 1997. Here she taught second and fourth grades before switching to the Technology Teacher position in 2015. At that point, Ms. Diehl also began to work at Goose Hill and West Side Schools, helping teachers and students embrace the many opportunities offered by coding, robotics and other aspects of technology. Ms. Diehl’s final messages to the children were to be kind to one another and never give up. Ms. Diehl has espoused those same qualities as a teacher and friend for over 30 years, and she will be missed. Enjoy the next part of your adventure, Ms. Diehl!

  • Author GORDON KORMAN visits Lloyd Harbor

    There’s only one author whose books have an entire shelf in the Lloyd Harbor School Library, and that is middle-grade writer Gordon Korman. His books are some of the most popular, particularly among fifth and sixth graders. How lucky he came to visit with the students! With his trademark sense of humor, Mr.Korman described how he wrote his first book as a 12-year old seventh grader (what!) and shared information about some of the 104 novels he has written since. Korman read aloud from his latest book, OLD SCHOOL, and shared writing advice with fourth, fifth, and sixth graders in three presentations on February 12. Mr. Korman advised that when writing creatively, students should consider the “what if?” possibilities, mine their own experiences, and use the power of observation. Before and after speaking to the students, Mr. Korman signed almost 200 books for LHS students and staff. Teachers and students are already asking when Gordon Korman can return!

  • February Board of Education Meeting

    Thank you to the community for coming out February 11 for the monthly Board of Education meeting. This month, it was a privilege to hear from our Lloyd Harbor student council who shared their enthusiasm for all the “latest and greatest” happenings at their school. It is always a pleasure to hear from our students. The Board recognized brothers Teddy and Spencer Boskoff (West Side students) for their fundraising efforts for the CA Wildfire victims. The boys were also invited to the Town of Huntington Board meeting on the same evening, where they were presented with a proclamation for their service to helping others in need. A special honor was bestowed by The College Board who recognized Melissa McLees with the AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award representing excellence in Computer Science Education and her commitment to promoting female students in the Computer Science Principles program. Cold Spring Harbor Jr./Sr. High School is proud to be one of only 847 institutions globally to receive this distinction for efforts in improving gender representation in STEM fields. The Board of Education congratulated Ms. McClees on her dedication as a Computer Science teacher, and for her exceptional contributions to this achievement. Superintendent Joseph Monastero shared, “Melissa has inspired countless students through her passion for education and research, preparing them for bright futures in computer science and beyond.
