The Harlem Wizards visited Grundy Avenue Elementary School on March 27 as part of the building’s PARP, or Pick a Reading Partner, program. This year’s PARP theme was March Madness. Students participated in several activities to foster a love of reading and even held a tournament-style Battle of the Fairytales.

The Harlem Wizards show was the culminating celebration of the PARP Program, and it was a slam dunk! The Grundy pep squad got the crowd excited for the assembly. Energy was through the roof as members of the basketball team showed off their skills and tricks while involving students and staff members.

Cereal box collections have continued into March in the Sachem Central School District. Grundy Avenue Elementary School is the most recent building to hold a cereal box drive to benefit local organizations. Students and staff collected 1,013 cereal boxes to distribute between the Lighthouse Mission, the pantry at St. John’s of Holbrook, the Sayville Soup Kitchen and the Calvary Chapel Island of Grace food pantry.

Before sending the donations off, Grundy Avenue Elementary School lined the boxes up through the hallways and into the cafeteria where they formed the shape of the letter “G.” The boxes were knocked down domino-style, symbolizing the chain reaction effect of kindness and helping others.
