May Was A Great Month for Music

Over the past few weeks, students at the Hillcrest School, the Peekskill Middle School, and Peekskill High School have presented a trio of outstanding musical performances by strings, woodwinds, bands, and choruses. Music teachers John Hahn, Lawrence Del Casale, David Thomas, Kim Meade, and Andrea Moffett, as well as the students and their parents, created the wonderful sounds that were enjoyed by all.

May Was A Great Month for Art

 

The creativity of students from all grades throughout the district was on display at Westchester Community College this month. Works in all media were featured and attracted admiring responses from many community visitors. Congratulations to art teachers Heather Brown, Jenn Lombardo, Patricia Roldan, Sarah Soyka, Liz Damiano, and Dawn Hoagland (shown in the photo below).

May Was A Great Month for Science

 The annual PHS Science Symposium was a great success this year as more students than ever presented their science research. Enrollment in the Independent Science Research Program is at an all-time high, and 22 new students were inducted into the national science honor society by Science Chair Gordon Hubbard.

In addition, science teacher Ralph Rodriguez will be taking four PHS sophomores to the prestigious White Plains Invitational in June to share their research: Kyle Glickert, Nolan Mercado, Ariana Memoli, and Jordyn Philips. Four PHS juniors will also participate as judges. Their participation is made possible by a grant from the Institute for Student Achievement.

Ralph Rodriguez and students Marcia Paltyn, Jordyn Philips, Margaret Krapish, and Jennifer Gallego.

The Peekskill Midddle School Concert this year was a special event: the dedication of the Judith Johnson Auditorium for the Performing Arts. Ms. Johnson, who retired as Peekskill superintendent in January, spoke to the audience about the power of the arts in education and received a standing ovation.
The best way to predict your future
is to create it.
