First Graders Make Gingerbread Houses

Get into the holiday spirit as you watch our first graders and their families create some gingerbread magic!

Thanksgiving Quarter Drive

The Polk Street School community demonstrated, once again, its generous spirit through the annual Thanksgiving Quarter Drive. Coordinated by our second grade, all classes in the school collected quarters, with the money donated to local families in need. A total of $1025.00 was collected. It seems that the entire community should be commended for "sticking our necks out for the common good". Thank you Polk Street School!

Guest Readers at Polk Street School

Retired teachers from the Sewanhaka Central High School District and the Franklin Square School District have been visiting classrooms to read picture books to students. Under the direction of Miss Julie O'Keeffe, the readers share a book, usually centered on a holiday theme. On December 16th , first grade students heard stories such as There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell and Snowmen at Night. We look forward to their return in February when our fifth graders will be treated to a dramatic rendition of Dr. Seuss' Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! It is always a special day at Polk Street School when they visit.
