Miller Avenue’s Student Council members are an encouraging group of student-leaders! They collected food for the school’s Thanksgiving food drive. Using math skills, they divided and sorted the items into boxes for local families in need. They also added some artistic flair by creating colorful placemats and centerpieces for each box of donations. Advisers Mrs. Mary Anne Benz and Mr. Robert Korchma are set to have the donations delivered to local families in the Shoreham-Wading River community.

When you enter Miller Avenue School, there is a distinct observation in the air: kindness. The students show empathy, acceptance, kind gestures and thoughtfulness to one another and their teachers. They also continue to put into practice their Wildcats With Character traits, and a recent Kindness Challenge resulted in a visit from the school’s mascot – Whiskers the Wildcat!

“Whiskers was so excited to visit the boys and girls and encouraged them to choose a gift from the prize box,” teacher Mrs. Krista LaBarbera said.

Miller Avenue School has a new flowerbed greeting passersby at the entrance of the school parking lot. Brownie Troop 2776 planted colorful chrysanthemums and ornamental cabbage surrounding the marquee, which currently has a “Thank You Board of Education” message.

“This is such a kind gesture for these girls to take on this project,” Miller Avenue Principal Claudia Smith said. “We are grateful to them and troop leader Jen Oliveri for beautifying our signage area and taking on the world with their big-hearted generosity.”

On behalf of the entire Shoreham-Wading River School District, thank you, Troop 2776!
