Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. 9/11 Heroes’ Day reminds us of the resilience, unity, and strength that followed. #WeAreNassau #PatriotDay #NeverForget
During the two-part lesson, students cut and folded paper into the shape of “spin-a-copters” and tested how well they spun when dropped. Along the way, they were introduced to key scientific terms such as “control group” and “variables.” Classes experimented by changing different factors—such as the mass of the paper, the shape of the blades, or the addition of paper clips—to observe how these variables affected the rotation speed of the blades.
Students recorded their observations, analyzed the data, and shared their results with the class. Overall, they were enthusiastic about testing their spin-a-copters and discovering whether their hypotheses were correct.
3 Myths about Applying for Free & Reduced Lunch — and the real facts you need to know!
❌ Myth #1: “I was approved last year.”
✔️Reality: Each year, all individuals are required to submit a new application, even if they were approved in previous years.
❌ Myth #2: “The application is too complicated.”
✔️ Reality: The application is quick, confidential, and available online. Most families complete it in under 10 minutes. Plus, schools and Food & Nutrition Services teams are available to help if you need support.
❌ Myth #3: “It doesn’t matter, I’ll just pack my child’s lunch.”
✔️ Reality: Even if your child brings lunch from home, qualifying for Free & Reduced Lunch can still help your family. Students can get a healthy breakfast or lunch at school on busy days, during testing, or when plans change.
