Lindell marked Earth Day this year with a blend of science, creativity, and environmental awareness, highlighted by a special visit from Mobile Ed Productions, Inc.

Lindell students were invited to explore the cosmos through a portable planetarium, an enormous inflatable dome that immersed participants in the wonders of outer space, that was set up in school’s gymnasium on April 21.  The out-of-this world experience allowed students to journey through the universe on a guided exploration of the solar system, seasonal night skies, and the rich stories of Greek mythology woven among the stars.

The experience was especially timely, arriving on the heels of the successful Artemis II mission, further sparking curiosity and excitement about space exploration among students.

Additionally, Lindell’s kindergarteners proudly presented their own Earth Day celebration on April 22. As part of their science curriculum, the young students have been studying ecosystems and learning about the importance of protecting the planet.

To share their knowledge, the kindergarten classes hosted family members for a special event that began in the school auditorium with a lively performance of Earth Day-themed songs. The celebration continued in the cafeteria, which was transformed into a “Museum Walk” featuring an array of imaginative recycled art projects created by the students.  

Together, these events created meaningful and memorable Earth Day celebrations for students, staff and family members. See photos here:

Long Beach Middle School seventh grader Zoey Pinto has earned first place at the New York State National History Day competition, that was held at SUNY Oneonta on April 26th.

With this outstanding achievement, Zoey has qualified to compete at the National History Day finals in College Park, Maryland this June.
