Planting Peace at Waverly Elementary School

Waverly Elementary School students stepped outside the classroom for the annual Peace Garden planting. Students across all grade levels received flower bulbs with a piece of paper attached for them to write down pledges for a positive school year. Not only will the schoolwide activity help beautify the school grounds come spring, it also helps students set goals to reach throughout the year.

Music Moves Students at Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration

Many Sachem students learned all about Hispanic music as part of the district’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations. Elementary school counselor Justin Morales led interactive assemblies at several of the district’s elementary schools that recognized the importance of music in Hispanic culture and the contributions of many Latin American musicians.

Mr. Morales first introduced the art of salsa dancing and the instruments at the heart of salsa music. He then taught students about the impact of artists including Tito Puente, Selena, Gloria Estefan, Shakira and Enrique Iglesias. Students even learned the merengue dance and got up out of their seats to feel the rhythm.

Waverly Walks for Breast Cancer Awareness

Throughout the month of October, the Sachem Central School District is supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

On Oct. 6, Waverly Elementary School students and staff dressed in pink and walked together as a symbol of solidarity for the cause. Parents and community members cheered students on as they held signs of support and walked the perimeter of the school’s field. The walk ended in the middle of the field where students and staff followed an outline to form a breast cancer awareness ribbon, which was captured from a drone above. Additionally, cosmetology students from Sachem High School North were on hand to put in pink hair extensions for staff and parents.

The event, which was organized by the Waverly PTA, brought together the school community while recognizing an important cause.
