The Woodward Parkway Student Council organized a food drive for the school's Week of Thanks. Students created "Thanksgiving Meals To Go" using"donations from each classroom. These Thanksgiving bags and gift cards from Stew Leonards are distributed to local families in need. The council comprised committed students who worked diligently to ensure the event's success. Their collaboration and dedication to community service were evident in every aspect of the food drive. Each student contributed significantly, from setting up collection points to sorting and packing the meals.

The Week of Thanks evolved into a cherished tradition that students, teachers, and families eagerly anticipated each year, celebrating the spirit of giving and gratitude.

The Woodward Parkway Student Council meets twice a month throughout the school year.

On Saturday, November 23, nineteen students from the Farmingdale School District participated in this year's P.E.A.K.(Parents, Educators, and Kids) Festival at Freeport High School. The P.E.A.K. Festival, run by the NMEA (Nassau Music Educators Association), is the fourth-grade prelude to the Division 1 All County Music Festivals. P.E.A.K. provides excellent workshops focusing on choral singing, music concepts, All County level ensemble experience, skills, and techniques facilitated by a dedicated and talented staff of music professionals. Saltzman East Memorial music teacher Abigail Hesselton chaired the event, which 380 students across Nassau County attended. She worked with the clinicians and volunteers behind the scenes to ensure the festival ran smoothly. Our fourth-grade students, accompanied by Mrs. Irene Smykowski from Saltzman East Memorial and Ms. Deanna Cupolo from Northside and Woodward Parkway, favorite sessions of the day included cardio drumming, boomwhacker fun, and even therapeutic instruments where they were able to play singing bowls. The day ended with a performance of every student and parent showcasing what they learned during the day.

Let’s give a big round of applause to the fourth-grade students, their teachers, and parents for a delightful and musical day!

Woodward Parkway's "I Can Run" Food Drive has begun!

Over two days, the Physical Education Department and the Farmingdale High School Varsity Leader's Club encourage students to race along a course on the school fields. Students bring canned goods to contribute to the outreach program at St. Kilian's Church. So, tie up those sneakers for some fun, fitness, and a chance to spread a little kindness in the community!

Farmingdale’s Spirit Week Concludes with Pep Rally and Homecoming Victory

Don Snyder stadium was packed with fans cheering the Farmingdale High School Varsity Football team to victory at their Homecoming game on October 10. The Dalers beat Syosset by a score of 49-13. The halftime show was spectacular, courtesy of the Farmingdale High School Marching Band, Cheerleaders, Daler Guard, and the Dalerettes.

The day's celebrations started with an energetic pep rally in the school gym, led by Farmingdale High School's Principal, Jed Herman, and our beloved lion mascot, Dale. As the lively sounds of the pep band and drumline filled the air, football team members were introduced, followed by stunning performances from the junior and varsity cheerleaders, the Dalerettes, and the Step-n-Dalers. Varsity captains representing all fall sports took center stage to receive a well-deserved applause. Fans were also wowed by an impressive party trick from the drumline—a blindfolded drum routine. Adding to the excitement, the senior cheer, dance, and step mashup made a spectacular comeback, getting everyone on their feet.

The Homecoming game marked the grand finale of Farmingdale's Spirit Week. This October tradition is a heartening occasion for students and faculty alike. Each day of the week boasted a unique theme, fostering creativity and inclusivity. The themes included Tropical Tuesday, Country vs. Country Club, Color Wars, and Daler Gear.

Spirit Week also included mini pep rallies at the elementary schools. The Farmingdale High School Cheerleaders, Dalerettes, and Step-n-Dalers treated the young students to electrifying performances. Our school Mascot, Dale, greeted the children and shared a few high-fives with the enthusiastic crowd. Wrapping it up, the Varsity Football captains shared inspirational words about what it truly means to be a Daler.

As the students look back on this incredible Spirit Week, the sense of belonging and pride in their community is undeniable. Farmingdale School District has once again proven its spirit is alive and thriving.
