A Thank You to Our Indefatigable Volunteers

Parent volunteers at the Book Fair
|
The Portledge Parents Association acknowledged the efforts of class parents and PA officers who work on behalf of the school. These parents tackle important jobs (from which we all benefit) that require commitment, insight and finesse. Less conspicuos are the efforts of our parents each and every day. Countess volunteer hours spent on refreshments, student performances, decorations for dances, book fairs, student trips, fundraisers, sporting events, car pools and simple acts of kindness and generosity amount to a wonderful school experience for all of our children. Portledge parents go above and beyond.
 | |
Donna Johnston organized the recent plant sale in Lower School.
|
Why do they do it? Although they may joke, "It seemed like a good idea at the time," it is clear when speaking to a representative group of parent volunteers recently that they desire to enrich the lives of not just their own children, but all students at Portledge. They say they want to show their appreciation for the school and "pay it forward" to the parents who come after. They also cite definite benefits in volunteering, among them building community, making friends, seeing their children and making them proud, getting to know their children's classmates and modeling community service for the students.

GUEST SPEAKER DR. SEVAN ANGACIAN
Portledge Educational Psychology Chair on Combatting "Summer Slide"
 | | Dr. Sevan Angacian, originally from Cold Spring Harbor, received her BA from Georgetown University at the Walsh School of Foreign Service. She earned her masters, and then her doctorate, in educational psychology from the University of Connecticut. She currently works with students and faculty to insure optimal learning and well-being of our Portledge students. |
Research shows that on average teachers spend a month reviewing what is lost over the summer months. Dr. Angacian provided tips to parents on how to stave off summer slide, the annual brain drain that occurs over the summer. She first advised parents to start with reading:
Choose books that are "just right," not too hard and not too easy. Use your local library and librarian to help guide you.
Read throughout the day: morning, day, and evening - newspapers, books, even recipes and discuss them together. Read aloud with your children. It can help with listening comprehension. Set a goal for reading and help your child stick to it!
Other ideas:
Play skill-building board games.
Takemini-day trips to museums, the zoo, local parks.
Learn a new word each day/week!
Take advantage of your child's classroom teacher's knowledge and repertoire of resources before leaving campus for summer vacation.
Consider Portledge Summer Adventures!

VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE DAY
There are so many special people within our community who support the work of educating children at Portledge, but none more dear to its students than a
grandparent or special friend. The excitement at Lower School was palpable on Friday as students celebrated Special Persons Day with a musical assembly, a tour of the classrooms, the book fair visit and the purchase of Mother's Day plants with a special visitor. One young student could be overheard exclaiming with some exasperation, "Wait Grandpa, I'm not done showing you around yet!"
At Portledge Lower School, students take great pride in their learning, which is the first step to becoming an educated person.
A NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM
This report from newly minted PA President Mel Mooney on the recent fourth and fifth grade overnight at the Museum of Natural History: "We had a night to remember! The kids were so inspired educationally and will never forget this adventure. Division Head Alan Cohen, science teacher Evie Sarles and fifth grade social studies Teacher Marvin Rosario lead the charge through the museum with flash lights, through the dinosaur and fossil wings and we all had the absolute best time. I mentioned to Mr. Cohen that many of the volunteer parents hope we can do more NYC educational adventures next year..cheers! "
FIFTH GRADE "DINNER PARTY"
 It is traditional for the graduating fifth graders to work on a dinner party art project at the close of the school year that pays tribute artist Judy Chicago's "Dinner Party Project" currently on display in the Elizabeth A. Sackler wing at the Brooklyn Museum. In it Chicago pays tribute to 1,038 women in history, some of whom are represented by "place settings" at the triangular table set for a dinner party. In the fifth grade version, students culminated a study of influential women in history by honoring them with a representative place setting created with pottery plates and goblets that depict their special contributions to the world.
AN EVENING OF REFLECTION
On May 29th the Lower School will host an Evening of Reflection to look back at the learning goals for the year and how they were achieved. Because we have a student-centered program, our fifth graders have been invited to help teachers explain, in their own words, how they learned what they learned.
We encourage you to attend this informative evening.

MIDDLE SCHOOL:
DISPATCHES FROM AMERICAN HISTORY
Seventh and eighth grades set out to two historic destinations this month to relive great moments in American history.
Reports Middle School history teacher Francesca Woll: "The goal of the eighth grade trip to Washington, D.C. was to get students to experience the culture, history, and heritage of our capital city. They visited many war memorials and monuments of impressive historical leaders studied or discussed in class throughout their seventh and eighth grade years. Students built upon their knowledge and asked impressive questions while exuding impeccable maturity and respect. The trip was incredibly successful and the students fully enjoyed the time spent with their peers and teachers."
And this from Middle School math teacher Catherine Carbonaro:
"Boston was a great trip. The students (and chaperones!) were able to experience arguably the most important events in America's history! Upon arrival in Boston on Wednesday, we picked up Bob, our fearless and knowledgeable tour guide. We browsed Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall before embarking on the Freedom Trail. It was wonderful to see how Boston has developed into modernity side-by-side with colonial and British monuments. On Thursday, the day commenced with a tour of the Museum of Fine Arts, where even non-artistically-inclined visitors are enthralled. We saw portraits of George Washington, Paul Revere and countless other colonial leaders. We also discussed the Liberty Bowl, the third most important possession of the United States behind the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The afternoon afforded us the opportunity to visit Lexington and Concord and walk on the same ground where the "shot heard round the world" was fired. Walking through living history is something none of us will forget. The trip finished Friday with a visit to the Science Museum and a Duck Boat Tour. As the 7th graders will probably never forget, our Duck Boat lost its steering partway through the tour and we were towed back to land by a passing Duck! Through it all, the group remained positive and our Captain filled us in on much of the history of what we could see, including one of the world's most beautiful jails!"
Eighth grade to Washington photos
ROCKETRY AT THE CRADLE
The 8th grade went to the Cradle of Aviation to expand their learning about astronomy. As part of Project Astro, they were given a special presentation on the constellations in the spring sky. They also saw an Imax movie about weather on all the planets in our solar system. This film merged the prior Earth Science unit on weather with the current unit on Astronomy. In addition, the class learned about what life is like on the International Space Station and about the history of the space program in the US. The field trip culminated with the students setting off rockets at the museum.

UPPER SCHOOL:
RUIWEN (DORIS) FU WINS GOLD AT LI MATH FAIR
On May 2nd students from all over Long Island gathered at Hofstra University for the final round of the Al Kalfus Long Island Math Fair. Representing Portledge, Math Circle member Ruiwen (Doris) Fu '17, received a gold medal - the highest award given - for presenting her Proof
of the Rule for Divisibility by 7.
The competition required students to present their research on a variety of mathematics topics and to defend their work before a panel of judges. According to Math Coach Helen Oehrlein, Fu used the divisibility rule for 7 to solve a problem at one of the Portledge Math Circle's meetings and her curiosity was sparked. Why, Fu wondered, did the rule work? She was not able to find the proof in an online search, and so she used examples of other divisibility proofs supplied by Ms. Oehrlein to create her own original proof of the rule, something that set her apart from the other competitors in the math fair.
Portledge School encourages students to use curiosity and creativity to explore problems for themselves. Fu has been at Portledge for just one year, but says she already appreciates the access she has had to her teachers and the freedom she has to investigate problems that interest her.
This is the first year that Portledge has competed in the Al Kalfus Long Island Math Tournament. Ms. Oehrlein says, "We are thrilled that Portledge's first math project was such a great success!"
THANKSGIVING IN MAY
Portledge recently played host to sixteen French visitors from Jean-Baptiste de La Salle High School in Rouen, France. This was the school that our own students had visited as part of the foreign exchange program. The group had a busy ten days, attending classes at Portledge and seeing the local sights. All the host families made our guests feel very welcome. The Sheeline family had a particularly wonderful idea - why not show our visitors what an American Thanksgiving is all about? They offered to roast two turkeys and open up their home to all who were interested. The price of admission was a contribution to the feast: stuffing, pies, cider, yams, etc.
Our Thanksgiving took place on the last evening before our guests left. The weather cooperated, and everyone gathered at the Sheeline's lovely home in Oyster Bay. The evening was magical, with delicious food and a sense of fellowship among all who attended. What a wonderful way to say farewell to our guests!
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
 Portledge students demonstrated a commitment to best practices when they teamed up with students from Glen Cove High School to form a study group to tackle the AP Chemistry exam. Collaborative study yields mutual support, a multiplicity of perspectives and ultimately better test prep. Smart.

ARTS:
MIDDLE SCHOOL CONCERT AND ART SHOW
The final exhibition and concert of the school year was characterized by a dazzling display of student intiative in music and art. Josh Yoder '18 and Ke Cheng Yu '18 were singled out as co-Artists of the Month for accessing a new (BRAND new) technology called the 3-D doodler, teaching themselves how to use it and incorporating it into their final collaborative art project. On the music front, Eve Fine '19 accompanied the Middle School Chorus on piano, enabling Music Teacher Bill Peek to conduct. The talents of several students were showcased with vocal and instrumental solos, and of particular note were the "above and beyond efforts" of Middle Schoolers who volunteered to learn and perform pieces outside their regular music curriculum to assist the ensemble. And again there was a cross-pollination among the musical divisions, with Upper Schoolers Andrew Palacios '16 and GraceAnne Woods '17 playing with the 7-8 Band. The evening was a terrific example of Portledge entrepreneurial initiative that resulted in an artistic AND scholastic success!

ATHLETICS:
VARSITY BOYS TENNIS ON THE HUNT FOR TWIN CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Portledge Varsity Boys Tennis team has never been Champions of both the ACIS and the IPPSAL in the same spring season. This year however, a sturdy group of Portledge athletes look to accomplish this feat. Powered by exceptional singles play from Cameron Daniels '14, Ian Bank '16 and David Lustberg '15, as well as fine doubles play from the the team of Alex Snow '14 and Ethan Axelowitz '16, Portledge finished regular season play with a mark of 14 wins and 1 loss. This exceptional record qualifies the Panthers for playoffs in the ACIS, as well as the IPPSAL Championship Match. The ACIS playoffs will come first with the boys taking on Packer Collegiate of Brooklyn this afternoon Thursday, May 15th in a semi final clash @ 4:15pm. If victorious, Portledge will then move into the ACIS Championship match to be played at Portledge on Monday, May 19th (4:15pm) against the winner of the other semi final between Columbia Prep and Staten Island Academy. Later next week, on Wednesday, May 21st, the Portledge boys will take on Kew Forest for the IPPSAL Championship, which will also be played at Portledge starting @ 4:30pm. So there will be some fantastic tennis right here on campus over the next week. Please stop down at the courts one afternoon and cheer the Panthers on to victory in these important matches. One last note, if rain prevents today's ACIS semi final from being played, the match will take place tomorrow afternoon -Friday, May 16th (4:15pm).

PORTLEDGE SUMMER INSTITUTES
About the Program
Lots of inquiries have come in about our Summer Institutes science classes open to students in 7th-12th grades. Here's the lowdown on the specialized classes, which are designed to take advantage of the facilities at Winthrop-University Hospital, where the classes will be taught by instructor Carolyn Chiu.
Anatomy and Physiology - Students in this program will have basic introductory classes to general sciences including chemistry, physics, and biology. The program will build on this foundation but more importantly apply this knowledge to the real world. Hands on, real world learning involving critical thinking and making connections among science, math and technology will be the hallmark of the program. Students will research and present information, learn clinical medicine directly from medical professionals and experience the various expertises and disciplines within a medical setting.
Neuroscience - This programs takes high school learning to the next level. Students will experience the clinical setting from the view of the medical professional. Students will build from their textbook knowledge and apply this information within the clinical setting of neurology, cardiology and radiology and the research setting of the clinical research laboratories at Winthrop. Students will partner with medical professionals to experience the daily activities of medical professionals and research scientists. This program goes far beyond the traditional classroom and allows students to become temporary members of the medical profession. It is a unique experience for all students interested in pursuing a medical profession in care delivery and/or medical research.
There is a 10% discount on the Summer Institute program for Portledge families.

COMMUNITY:
KiDS of NYU LANGONE GETS BOOST FROM PORTLEDGE STUDENTS
Caroline Pantofel '16, Ariana Pergola '16, Electra Roll '16, Maddie Prince '16, Adele Sukhov '16 and Haya Sheeline '16 joined old friends from East Woods to help raise money at the KiDS of NYU Langone Springfling Gala on April 30th in NYC. The proceeds help to fund inpatient and outpatient programs for children throughout the medical center.
CANS FOR KIDS
At Shriner's Children's Hospital, children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate are eligible for care and receive all services in a family-centered environment, regardless of the patients' ability to pay. Thanks to Victorien Jacobsen, who spearheaded a bottle and can drive that yielded over 1,000 containers, our Portledge community again had the opportunity to make a positive change in the world through social action. Right on!

FACULTY:
Otherwise Engaged!
The New York Palace Hotel in midtown Manhattan, once owned by the Leona Helmsley and the sultan of Brunai, this month played host to another historic event: the engagement of Middle School math teacher Catherine Carbonaro to fiance Josh Astin. The pair were in NYC for his birthday, and the intended sight for the proposal was actually across the street in Central Park. When that proved too crowded, the quick-thinking Astin escorted Ms. Carbonaro back to the refuge of the elegantly appointed hotel, where he popped the question with a diamond ring Carbonaro's sister had helped him pick.
Can you say swoon?!
