About the Show:
When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what’s right.

Tuttle Avenue students participated in the democratic process and took to the polls on Nov. 5 to vote. The school’s voting booth was prominently located in the hallway and decorated with patriotic symbols and voting information.

Students first completed a voter registration card. Student ambassadors then explained to each class the voting process and that each individual will vote for a favorite special, which included physical education, ESM time, STEAM, social emotional learning, art and library. Students then entered the voting booth one-by-one to cast their vote and were given an “I Voted” sticker.

The results were not at all surprising. The students voted physical education as their favorite special, followed by art and STEAM.

Jr.-Sr. High School students studying government and criminal justice recently had an insightful lesson about the court system thanks to a visit from New York State Supreme Court Justice Deanna Panico.  

Justice Panico, who was elected to serve in November 2024 and took the bench in Suffolk County this January, hears civil cases related to negligence and breach of contract cases.     

She explained what her job entails, but also spoke about the importance of studying the U.S. Constitution. “This document impacts our lives on a day to day basis, and it is important to know its history,” she said.  

Justice Panico also delved into the history of the Declaration of Independence, Continental Congress, Bill of Rights and the government’s checks and balances. 

The district would like to thank Justice Panico for taking time to discuss how these important historical documents affect the lives of citizens and the country’s legal processes

On Oct. 30, Eastport-South Manor Central School District held an exhilarating and informative event that unlocked the power of leadership, and which inspired, challenged and equipped educators from across the region with actionable leadership tools.

Held at ESM Jr.-Sr. High School, Interim Superintendent of Schools Joseph A. Steimel welcomed participants to Leadership Day and explained the importance that the Leader In Me program has meant for the district. “The Leader In Me program takes a great partnership,” Mr. Steimel said. “It is the mortar that brings all of our bricks together.”

FranklinCovey Associate Director of Research Kim Yaris kicked off the event with her presentation about “Why Leadership Skills Matter,” and explained that Leader in Me skills assist students in their preparedness for the workforce and beyond.

Keynote speakers Muriel Summers and David Hatch, co-authors of “Leader in Me” and their newest book, “Teacher Believed in Me,” unveiled Seven Leadership Skillsets proven to boost student-well-being, ignite engagement and renew educator passion. Depression, stress and anxiety are the top obstacles to learning, Hatch explained. Likewise, students feeling connected stabilizes a relationship with an adult [teacher].

“You need to recognize what practical things teachers can do to better connect with students and make a difference in their positive well-being and readiness to learn,” Hatch said.

Summers encouraged educators to remember their “why” when it comes to the profession and remarked that Leadership Skillsets take on the basic needs of students. She also cautioned educators that their words can leave an indelible mark on students. “The power of words can leave a heart print on open wounds,” Summers said.

The event also included three breakout sessions. Principal J.M. Jackson’s presentation “Shining Bright: From Seven Habits to Lighthouse Designation” celebrated the power of student leadership as the South Street School Leadership Team shared their inspiring journey from starting the Leader in Me Program to eventually receiving the Lighthouse Designation in 2025. Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Dr. John Christie spoke about districtwide goal setting with four disciplines of execution. Additionally, Bellmore Superintendent of Schools and NYS Superintendent of the Year Dr. Joe Famularo delivered his address, “Changing Culture from the Inside Out: Living the Seven Habits in the Classroom and School Community.”

Leader in Me coach Robin Sampson also hosted a panel discussion with district students, two from each school, about how the seven leadership habits have prepared them for the future. Participants then attended tours of Dayton Avenue and South Street schools, led by student-leaders, to see firsthand how the district puts the Leader in Me program into play.

Eastport-South Manor Interim Superintendent of Schools Joseph Steimel explained that integrating the Leadership Skillsets continues to be a journey for the district. “Our Lighthouse Team continues the culture. It is not driven by one person.”
