Miller Avenue School second graders welcomed some special guests – including a duck, an opossum, owls and a turtle – when they attended an informative and hands-on Nature Assembly hosted by Smithtown’s Sweetbriar Nature Center last week. Thanks to teacher Rob Verbeck for capturing these sweet moments!

Miller Avenue students in Courtney Von Bargen’s kindergarten class had some assistance in launching their new Writing Workshop Unit: How To.

Parents Mr. Joe Hubert and Mrs. Jackie Hubert visited the classroom to teach the students how to make pretzels. Mr. Hubert is the Vice President of Operations at Fresh Dining Concepts, a company that owns Auntie Anne’s Pretzels.

He taught the students about the history of the pretzel and brought dough to teach them the steps to make a pretzel. The students got to practice and then each one was given their own freshly baked soft pretzel in addition to pencils, coloring books, bookmarks and a free coupon for another Auntie Anne’s pretzel!

Giggling and juggling were the highlights for Miller Avenue School students when master juggler Jester Jim took the stage at the school on April 15.

“Jester Jim brings not only jokes, sound effects, and amazing feats of juggling, but also an important message about practicing and boosting and encouraging one another,” said second grade teacher Robert Verbeck.
