O^ c^ Valentine'sDayat JFK ^ V
Bethpage's JFK Middle School celebrated Valentine's Day early this year, with a party held after school on February 12th. Students gathered in the gym,
which was festively decorated in pink and red, to enjoy fun and games, as well as music and entertainment provided by a live DJ. Students enthusiastically
showed off their dance moves, some taking home giveaways such as beaded necklaces. The cafeteria was another highlight of the afternoon with plenty of
food and refreshments. The celebration allowed students to bond socially and foster some new friendships, gaining a greater appreciation for some of their
fellow classmates.

Bethpage High School Students on a Hunt to Help a Good Cause
Bethpage High School students and staff recently joined together for a
common cause during a scavenger hunt to benefit National Lymphedema
Networks. Lymphedema is a medical condition that causes swelling in
the arms or legs due to missing or damaged lymph nodes or lymphatic
vessels, and students succeeded in raising close to $ 700 for treatment
and research.
Junior Jordan Schessler, who has lived with Lymphedema since ele-mentary
school, coordinated this event along with student Melissa Rohr,
School Social Worker Ms. Christine Kennedy, and others. " We do so
much fundraising at the High School, and I wanted to give back," Jordan
expressed. " This is a good way to raise awareness with the hopes of
finding a cure." She also explained that the idea for a scavenger hunt
was developed as something fun and ditYerent that is also in conjunction
with the 21st Century Learning initiative.
Students worked in groups, with a total of 105 participants, and gath-ered
clues all around the school building. The scavenger hunt was both
education and health- related, incorporating school subject areas, searches
for healthy recipes in the library, sit- ups in the gym, and other activities.
Winners were awarded Dunkin Donuts gift certificates and all partici-pants
earned 21st Century Scholar credit.
