Building Team Kids Visit Ronald McDonald House

On May 2^nd and 3^rd, Washington Street School's Building Team Kids, accompanied by faculty advisors Janet Goldstein, Christine Hanratty and Kate Hayden, visited the Ronald McDonald House in New Hyde Park. Families who have a child admitted to the nearby Cohen’s Children’s Hospital are able to stay at this facility during their child’s hospital stay.  Our students were treated to a tour of this incredible lodging and then had the opportunity to utilize the cooking stations in the kitchen to prepare brownies, cupcakes and other desserts for the families staying at the facility. The students and teachers enjoyed preparing the desserts for others. A special added bonus was seeing the smiles on faces of families returning from the hospital when they discovered the treats waiting for them. The students can’t wait to return to create more culinary treats for these families! Thank you to our Building Team Kids for showing, once again, that at Washington Street it's always Cool to Care!

Super Bowl Friday at WSS

Super Bowl Friday was buzzing with activity at Washington Street School, as our annual "Souper Bowl" Recesses were held. In addition to students and staff, even our Superintendent, Mr. Manley, demonstrated his athletic skill with some incredible field goal kicks. In addition to the fun, more than 500 cans of soup were donated to Long Island Cares: The Harry Chapin Food Bank. Thank you to all who donated and to Mr. Stella, Miss Read, Mr. Boyle and Mr. Chhan for organizing the event.

Also on Friday, we got to wish our wonderful assistant principal, Mr. Stella, a very happy birthday!

As always at Washington Street School, caring and smiles are a winning combination!
