Lynbrook Owls go orange for Unity Day

The Lynbrook Schools community traded their green and gold for orange on Oct. 16 as they took a stance against bullying in an annual recognition of Unity Day. 

Teachers, staff and students donning orange turned hallways and classrooms into a sea of anti-bullying symbolism. Each building throughout the district participated in activities that promoted kindness and understanding while teaching ways students can stand against bullying. At South Middle School, for example, students started the day by decorating their class doors with anti-bullying messages in a friendly competition. At Marion Street Elementary School, a kindness tree was covered with orange leaves made of craft paper contributed by each student in the school, while a kindness wall at West End Elementary School encouraged students to be the “I” in kindness. Additionally, schools gathered outside to stand as one an promote an Owl-themed message, such as an infinity symbol made by the more than 400 students who attend Marion Street. #OwlProud #OwlCares

Lynbrook Schools embrace empathy for ‘Start With Hello’ week

In Lynbrook Schools, no friend is left behind. This message rang true during Start With Hello Week from Sept. 16 to 20, as students across the district united to promote unity and stand against social isolation.

Each year, thousands of schools and youth organizations nationwide participate in the Sandy Hook Foundation's Start With Hello Week. This week is a national call-to-action dedicated to making new social connections and creating a sense of belonging among youth. The goal of Start With Hello Week is to help students understand the signs of social isolation and be able to reach out and start with a simple "hello."

This week, North and South middle schools participated in activities such as wearing Hello Stickers to meet new people in their building, spreading positive messages through “Positive Note Tuesday” and participating in a “Welcome Wednesday” photobooth to connect with new peers. At both North and South, the principals and social workers pushed-in to all sixth grade classes with a read-aloud of the book “Invisible Boy” by Trudy Ludwig and facilitated a discussion about social awareness, kindness and the importance of reaching out.

At Marion Street, Waverly Park and West End elementary schools, empathy and unity was on full display as daily themes were celebrated. Random acts of kindness helped spread positivity, while students learned to say “hello” in other languages. They also invited someone new to play during recess, and positive notes were shared with teachers, friends and family members. Bright colors and shirts with positive messages worn by students brightened others’ days. Additionally, elementary schoolers signed Promise Pledges signaling their commitment to foster a culture of inclusivity and empathy.
