The rich traditions of Diwali were brought to life at Waverly Park Elementary School in the Lynbrook School District as one student presented to her peers alongside her parents on Nov. 1.

Shayla Sobhan, a second grader in Mallory Lensing’s class, was joined by her parents Seema Tiwari-Sobhan and Sunil Sobhan, who all dressed in traditional Diwali clothing. Shayla’s class was joined by Melinda Raymar’s second graders for a discussion about the festival of lights, including the holiday’s significance, common celebratory practices and the fact that it is observed by about one billion people worldwide. Shayla described some of her favorite sweets enjoyed by her family over the five-day celebration. Her parents then read “Peppa Pig: Happy Diwali!” to the class before bringing the presentation to first graders. Throughout the week, teachers incorporated Diwali-themed lessons that highlighted the importance of fostering a community that embraces and celebrates cultural diversity.

The Owls community came out in force to showcase their green and gold pride and cheer the varsity football team to victory on Oct. 26. 

Lynbrook Schools students of all ages and who play on several sports teams were represented in the annual parade that spanned from Lynbrook High School to the Marion Street Elementary field. Homecoming King Cooper Schorr and Queen Cate Jennings were escorted alongside their fellow Homecoming Court nominees, while members of the varsity and junior varsity cheer and kickline teams were escorted on Lynbrook Fire Department trucks. Ahead of kickoff, seniors on the cheer, kickline and football teams were applauded as they walked onto the field with their parents. 

The Owls displayed an unbreakable defense and a fierce offense as they quickly took the lead over Valley Stream North in the first quarter. Lynbrook triumphed with a final 43-7 score. During halftime, the marching band brought the music while being led by senior conductors, cheer showed off high-flying maneuvers and kickline pumped up the community spirit.

From heads to toes, students at the Kindergarten Center in the Lynbrook School District learned how to keep their bodies healthy through the annual Health Fair, hosted by Molloy University nursing students on Oct. 23.

Nursing students donned their white scrubs and set up stations around the Kindergarten Center gymnasium that focused on different parts of the body, such as the brain, the heart or bones. Through various activities, kindergartners were shown how to keep themselves active and healthy. In a demonstration of the importance of washing their hands, students saw how germs can spread as they stamped their painted hands onto a sheet of paper. Additionally, a quick exercise of jumping jacks got students’ hearts pumping. The Health Fair returns to the Kindergarten Center every year, allowing Molloy nursing students to showcase their knowledge while Lynbrook kindergartners receive positive guidance on leading a healthy lifestyle.
