Habitat Presentation
Habitat Presentation

Lenape Elementary School students in the multigrade class of Dominique Venturini, Cara Kubert, and Amy Chapman recently showcased their research, technology, and presentation skills during a special habitat presentation for families! On May 7, students presented multimedia Google Slides projects highlighting ecosystems from deserts to rainforests, sharing information about climates, plant and animal life, and locations, as well as fun facts they had discovered along the way. 💡🔆

Students not only learned how to research and paraphrase information from print and digital sources, but also tackled challenging habitat vocabulary, operated the SMART Board independently, and rehearsed their presentations to build confidence in public speaking. Families and staff were impressed by all they learned. 👏

A big “high five” for Julian Galvan, De’Lonte Middleton, Abaan Bilal, and Gabriel Reyes! 🙌

Physical Education Classes Go Fishing
Physical Education Classes Go Fishing

For over a decade, our high school Physical Education department has partnered with Ryan Colter of the DEC to offer our students a unique physical education program.

Each May, along with the support of our transportation department, SUNY New Paltz, and Jenna Manning our physical education secretary, students get the chance to learn the lifetime sport of fishing first hand. Thanks to Stewart’s Shops and everyone else who continue to help our outstanding physical education program.

This is a catch and release program using hooks without barbs that is held at the beautiful SUNY New Paltz pond. Congratulations to Trent on his big catch!
