Prodell Middle School kicked off its Wildcats with Character program in September at grade-level Welcome Back assemblies.

"We spoke to students about the importance of demonstrating all the Wildcats with Character traits throughout the year and introduced “respect” as the first trait of focus for the month of September,” Assistant Principal Lauren Biscardi said.

Like last year, at the end of every month, teachers will nominate students to be the school’s Wildcats with Character students of the month for exemplifying that month’s trait of focus.

“We are very proud of all of these students for establishing themselves as role models for others and starting the year off on such a positive note!” Mrs. Biscardi added.

The following students were awarded with a certificate and a Wildcats with Character key chain. Congratulations to Brendan Babst, Sophia Bianco, Charlotte Coster, Jaxx Dutton, Ashley Esnes, Brianna Faulkner, Jack Ficken, Casie Fioretti, Francia Glover, Christopher J. Graham, Keira Holt, Gianna Horsford, Nathan Lauckhardt, Jack Lipani, Joshua Opitz, Ralph Perez, Declan Sefton, Ryan Shea, Grayson Vescovo and Cole Wagner.

Prodell Middle School students learned about 400 years of immigration in New York with a four-panel exhibit from the Long Island Library Resource Council. The eighth graders in Corrine Fallon’s social studies classes visited the library and worked along with Ms. Fallon and librarian Mrs. Ann-Marie Kalin to further understand the historic immigration to New York State from 1650 to 1950. The panels represented the life, laws, early immigrants and work for the new arrivals, beginning with Dutch settlers and continuing through the end of the world wars.

In addition to the poster exhibit, Mrs. Kalin challenged the students with independent inquiry as she set out numerous books to choose from – allowing the students to review images and photographs and record what they found fascinating or what sparked their interest.

Shoreham-Wading River School District hosted its annual homecoming festivities on Sept. 20.

Students, principals, teachers, administrators, cheerleaders and families joined in the parade to set the tone for a successful football game against Elwood-John H. Glenn High School.

Before the start of the game High School Principal Frank Pugliese requested a moment of silence after he lauded coach Paul Koretzki as a true legend for his decades of shaping multi-generations of Shoreham-Wading River girls cross-country and track and field teams. The High School chorus under the leadership of music teacher Dennis Creighton welcomed the crowd with a beautiful rendition of the national anthem.
