LHS Key Club attends statewide Leadership Training Conference

Key club team photo thumbnail265727

By Junior Key Clubber Shameen Pirzada

The New York District’s annual Leadership Training Conference (LTC) is a weekend long conference designed to provide leadership workshops and recognition to Key Club officers. Key Club, a student-led organization for high school students, focuses on developing leadership skills through community service. Members participate in a wide range of volunteer activities, fundraising and service projects that benefit both their schools and local communities. On March 28, Key Club members from across the state traveled to Albany to participate in the long-awaited conference, which featured a full day of engaging workshops covering a variety of topics such as leadership development, life and career skills, resume building and a deeper understanding of Key Club officer roles. Students also had several opportunities to network and connect with fellow Key Clubbers across the New York district, share ideas and form lasting connections with peers who share a similar passion for service and leadership. LTC 2025 proved to be not only a chance to learn and grow but also a celebration of the dedication and spirit that defines Key Club.

During LTC, as anticipation rose with the announcement of the new district board for the 25-26 service year, the retiring board recounted their memorable experiences and lessons they learned along the way. Jessica Strohofer, the Division 7 Lieutenant Governor for the 2024-2025 service year, said, “My responsibilities consisted of doing weekly updates, monthly newsletters, hosting divisionals and being in charge of over 1,000 people. Specifically, at LTC I had to help run and host workshops. Overall, I think LTC went phenomenal.” While the responsibilities of managing a division of over 100 students was no easy feat, Strohofer took great pride in her accomplishments, viewing them not as personal milestones but as contributions to a greater cause. She emphasized her pride, explaining, “I am most proud of how our division did this year. We raised over $100,000 for various charities, which is a record, and did 44,000+ service hours. Seeing how well the division did makes me proud to have served them.” Due to her efforts, Strohofer was awarded the Distinguished Lieutenant Governor Award.

At LTC, Lynbrook High School’s Key Club proudly took home an impressive ten awards, which included first place in the Interclub Award, second place in Service Hours Per Member (93.5), and the Key of Honor to the club’s advisor Dr. Benedict Tieniber. Such awards highlight the club’s unwavering commitment to service, leadership and community involvement. These awards recognize the immense hard work members and officers put throughout the year in order to accomplish the club’s goals.

Moreover, Katy Gottlieb, the Executive Assistant for the New York District for the 2024-2025 service year spoke on her journey: “I think LTC was a huge success this year! As EA, I was responsible for handing out awards, organizing welcome bags and name badges, delivering speeches and presenting awards.” The hard work and passion of the district officers are what truly made LTC a success. Their countless hours of planning, leading, and supporting their peers ensure that the conference is not only well-organized but also inspiring and motivating to every attendee. As a result of her work, Gottlieb was awarded the Outstanding Executive Officer Award for her dedication to service, supporting her fellow board members, and taking initiative throughout her term. Lastly, Gottlieb shares some advice for any individuals interested in pursuing a district position: “The biggest lesson I learned was don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and take initiative. Being daring as a leader has its benefits.” Putting oneself out there is essential to personal growth and leadership. It means stepping out of one’s comfort zone and embracing new experiences.

The newly elected board is filled with enthusiasm, ready to take on their roles with fresh ideas and passion. “I’m really excited to meet new people from all over Division 7 and work together on fun projects and events, said Skylar Wolkoff, the newly elected Division 7 Lieutenant Governor. I think it’s going to be really cool to help plan things and see everyone come together as a team. I’m also looking forward to growing as a leader and making this year fun and memorable for everyone.” She also opened up about her nervousness for the year ahead, expressing both excitement and uncertainty as she prepares to face new challenges and responsibilities. “I’m a little nervous about making sure I do a good job and don’t let anyone down... I hope to plan fun and meaningful events where we can make a real difference in our communities. I also want to help support every club in the division, whether that’s through better communication, sharing ideas or just being there when they need help.”

Lastly, Wolkoff ended her statement by offering some advice to others who express a passion for service: “Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, even if it feels a little scary at first. My biggest advice is to stay organized, communicate clearly and don’t be afraid to ask for help — you’re not doing it alone.”

Ultimately, LTC serves as the perfect opportunity for students to showcase their leadership, talent, and capabilities outside the classroom. Attendees left the conference with an abundance of valuable insights that they hope to bring into their local communities. #OwlProud #OwlCares

Virtual Enterprise students visit New York Stock Exchange

In Lynbrook High School's Virtual Enterprise course, students get the chance to independently run their own simulated business. The team behind Snooze, a high-tech sleepwear company whose mission is to provide everyone with the opportunity to get the sleep they need, took a step into the real world of business during a visit to Wall Street on April 3.

The trip consisted of a tour of the New York Stock Exchange, where students witnessed the opening bell and explored the trading floor. Leading the tour was GTS Designated Market Maker Michael Pistillo, who offered insight into the history of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as the differences between the markets and the history of the building itself.

As the opening bell rang, students witnessed a historical day. The day before the trip, President Donald Trump announced his tariffs on foreign goods coming into the U.S., causing immediate declines in the stocks as the day progressed. Senior Cooper Schorr was fascinated at how hectic the stock exchange can be at a time like this: “The market was heading towards one of its lowest points in years, so watching how hard everyone was working during a time like this was very interesting,” he said.

After the opening bell, Pistillo led the class to the famed executive boardroom where he lectured about its prestigious history and how it’s used in the present day. He explained the significance and symbolism of the grandfather clock, the storied past of the boardroom ceiling and the infamous Faberge urn, a gift from Tsar Nicholas II in 1904 on behalf of the Imperial Russian Government. Students were able to take photos throughout the boardroom before heading back down to the trading floor.

Dr. Benedict Tieniber, who teaches the Virtual Enterprise class, is grateful to have the chance to give his students an experience like this. “Going to the stock exchange is one of my favorite trips of the year, he said. It’s one thing to learn about the Stock Exchange, but it’s a totally different experience being able to see it in person and it can change your perspective of the finance industry.” Tieniber hopes that the students walk away from the trip knowing that “anything is possible if you put your mind to it, and everyone should invest in their future.”

Some of the seniors in Virtual Enterprise who are going to college to pursue a career in business said that the trip changed their perspective and opened their eyes to how tough it can be. “Business is a very rewarding field, but it also takes a lot of hard work to really succeed,” said Schorr, who has committed to Lehigh University with a major in business.

Senior Coral Roditi shared their experience at the New York Stock Exchange. “This trip showed me what it really takes to be successful in the business world. Everyone there has faced challenges, and everyone I spoke to told me to not give up if you don’t succeed the first time,” said Roditi, who will study business at the University of Wisconsin this fall.

“I was able to see that everything at the stock exchange relies on accurate accounting and financial reporting, which made me think about all the possibilities with my major,” said senior Gillian Greenberg, who is committed to Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business to study accounting. “After this trip, I’m always going to be open to new things, as the business world is always changing with new technology.

Snooze’s Chief Executive Officer, senior Genevieve Dellacona, was inspired by what she saw on the trip. “The people working at the stock exchange give 110 percent every single day, and when I grow up, I hope that I can have this drive throughout my career,” she said. As CEO, Dellacona oversees day-to-day operations and is always pushing her peers to get their work done. She hopes to apply what she saw on the trip in the classroom going forward.

Some students were stunned at how fast everything moved in a matter of seconds. Junior Fabian Safsten-Suarez was particularly surprised at how quickly an investor can lose money: “Watching everything happen in person really emphasized how quickly things can change, along with how important it is to always double-check and review financial decisions before acting, especially when it comes to such high stakes like this.”

Students were also lucky enough to speak to a few floor traders before the bell rang, picking their minds with any questions they had. Junior Lilyanna Blackstone was one of these students, and said the job sounded much easier than she imagined. “The man I talked to told me that once you get a hang of it, it’s very easy,” she said. He explained his day-to-day job as Blackstone watched. “He told me that he’s in charge of buying, selling and bidding, and that with a lot of hard work, I could even take over his job.”

Overall, students left the trip with newfound knowledge about the job of a stockbroker and how to pursue a career in the field. In addition, they experienced a day on the floor of the only human-ran stock exchange in the world, and as each day passes by, Snooze looks to make use of what they learned and finish as one of the top firms to end the year. #OwlProud #OwlLearns

Lynbrook High School was host to more than 1,000 students from across Long Island on March 27 for the Virtual Enterprise Trade Show, where young entrepreneurs pitched their business ideas to their peers. 

Roughly 60 Virtual Enterprise firms were represented by 38 different schools in the Lynbrook High School auditorium. Each team set up elaborate booths complete with backdrops, interactive experiences and prizes to help draw onlookers’ attention to their unique business propositions. In their Virtual Enterprise courses, students collaborated to build a simulated business from the ground up, starting with an initial idea and growing it to establish company roles, product concepts, marketing campaigns, websites and logos. 

Firms had the opportunity to network with peers from fellow school districts and make investments in companies that caught their interest. Lynbrook High School staff members and students also received $5,000 Virtual Enterprise “credit cards” to help fund deserving propositions. Lynbrook’s students pitched Snooze, offering a range of “smart” sleep products, and Revive, offering heating and cooling inserts designed to fit into custom jackets, gloves, sleeves, shirts and various products. The Virtual Enterprise program and accompanying Trade Show are excellent ways to build entrepreneurial skills among high schoolers while connecting them across Long Island’s town borders. 

“Virtual Enterprise is among the most authentic contextualized learning programs available at the high school level,” Ellen Palazzo, the Virtual Enterprise regional director for New York State and New England, said. “What makes it even more unique is the banking system, helping students create and operate businesses in a virtual environment at a professional level.”
