Summer Research Paying Big Dividends
Going into summer before their junior year, Mark Theodore Meneses and Amy Chan were selected to participate in an environmental get-away in Riverhead where they were involved with investigative studies of river systems and estuaries. Now, both are ‘rising seniors’ and because of their involvement in the Environmental Science Program the summer before, they have been selected to participate in The Western Exploration for Young Environmental Stewards Program. This will be a fully paid trip to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming during the last week of September to learn and work alongside scientists and artists studying the ecology of the Grand Canyon.“The fact that I’ve never been to that part of the country will make it a great trip,” said Mark, who some day, would like to become a molecular biologist, with a focus on genetics. “One of the big highlights is that I will be able to meet with one of my favorite instructors from Bozeman Science, Mr. Paul Anderson.”
Ten students are selected for the program each year, based on their exemplary performance in summer science enrichment programs. The program is sponsored by the Avalon Park and Preserve, and partially funded by the Simons Corporation. “The program will provide an outstanding opportunity to build on the scientific, leadership and stewardship skills these two students have been developing over the last few years,” said South Huntington STEM coach Ms. Marijean Scardapane.“With the sciences, it’s one thing to read it in text books or online, but to have a first-hand experience of all the science I’m learning makes it all the better," said Mark. Our other ‘rising senior’ Amy Chan fully agrees with her peer’s assessment. “I never get to travel outside of New York, and it’s exciting to participate in research with wildlife experts in the field,” said Amy who wants to pursue a career in environmental science.
Congratulations to Mark and Amy. We look forward to reporting on the outcome of their trip next fall.

6th Grade Experiment Launched to International Space Station!
A team of middle school students from South Huntington launched an experiment with Space X-9 from Cape Canaveral Florida toward the international space station on Monday morning July 18th.
The team, rising 8th graders Hussain Babar, Dylan Cellamare, Richard Kurjanski, Leo Musitano, Stephan Tsolis, and Jacob Veeder, were in Mrs. Carol Kelly’s 6th grade science class when they conceived the idea to find out if polymer beads can clean laundry in zero gravity. Their findings could help astronauts clean their clothes on the International Space Station, and in the future, on the moon or Mars. A mission patch designed by rising 7th graders Mia Stampfel and YiMei Potzinger is traveling to the International Space Station with the experiment. The patches will be certified as having flown in space and returned to display in South Huntington after the flight is completed.
The team is part of a select group of students who are launching experiments through the Student Spaceflight Experiment Program (SSEP). One other Long Island District – Wyandanch - also has an experiment aboard Space X-9. “The district is thrilled to support the amazing work of our young science students,” said Dr. Jared Bloom, South Huntington’s Assistant Superintendent. “We are all inspired by their work and commitment!”“Over the next few weeks, our students will monitor the progress of their experiments in space and conduct ground experiments that will serve as controls,” said Mari Scardapane, South Huntington’s STEM Coach. “The experiment is scheduled to be returned from space on August 10. That’s when we will find out if their results will help astronauts keep clean in space.”
The SSEP is a national science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) program undertaken by the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education in partnership with NanoRacks LLC, which is working with NASA under a formal Space Act Agreement as part of the utilization of the International Space Station as a National Laboratory.

Minds of The Future
Coding Camp was a huge success this summer for students in grades K-6. Students experienced a summer camp adventure with Dash and Dot robots where students raced them around the hallways, hosted a fashion show, and even held a Dash and Dot wedding ceremony. Students programmed Dash and Dot to control their movements using Blocky, a programming language that is similar to Scratch and snaps together like puzzle pieces. Students started with simple commands, like turning right, or turning left, or moving forwards or back-wards. They then added in making noises at events such as when you pick them up, or when they reach a destination. Students made Dash go in circles, around sharp corners, and navigate a maze.
Other programs the students interacted with were: Code.org, Scratchjr, and Google CS First. Google CS First is a Scratch programming course for kids that introduces essential building blocks behind object-oriented programming through creating fun, interactive stories and simple games. Students let their imaginations run wild and learned programming basics with Scratch through interactive storytelling. Our Coding Camp students thought creatively and learned how to program their own stories, games, and animations, as well as how to share their creations on the web.

The energy level and creativity were high as another year of summer memories were established and camp coordinators Allan Deitz and Frank Yolango brought the season to a close. On Thursday evening, families and the community gathered in Whitman’s air-conditioned PAC for dance and music performances that highlighted the many camp offerings that distinguish our Arts program here in South Huntington. The Summer Dance Program, directed by Priscilla Velazquez featured dancers from our youngest through middle school. The Summer Theater Program, directed by Linda Hulley, highlighted Thursday evening’s performance with the musical “Golly Gee Wiz.” The hallways surrounding the PAC were filled with art that included sculpture and photography.
On Friday morning, the last day of camp, families gathered for performances that accentuated dance and music by our talented campers. The morning concluded with performances by students in the Rock Band classes directed by Robby Deitz and Vinnie Muscarella. Congratulations to our students and staff who once again exemplified the exceptional arts programs in South Huntington.
Summer Music and Arts Program Staff: T.J. Adams, Robby Deitz, Dennis Pettas, Elizabeth De Monte, Linda Hutley, Greg Modelewski, Shannon Murray, Vinnie Muscarella, Samantha Roldos, Courtney Schmaeling, Priscilla Velazquez, Sarah Weiss and Nicole Mihalik.

Life is a Cabaret
Right from the dramatic opening scene, the talented cast of the Long Island Musical Theater Festival (LITMF) once again captivated their audience with the top-notch production of Cabaret.
Our very own vocal director, Mr. Steven Altinel is the Musical Director of LIMTF and organized this special program, which joined some of the finest musical theater talent in the region. Whitman students and alumni Tyler Zeoli, Marco Chiriboga, Lauren Giglio, Delaney Guiliano, Marina Kopf, Sam Hoffman, Megan Montemurro and Max Morris were instrumental cast members creating a piece of theatre that sheds light on the ominous political developments in pre-World War II Germany.
With music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, this summer’s LIMTF production celebrated the 50th anniversary of this iconic musical. “As part of the LIMTF program, our young musical actors had the privilege to work on their material in a master class and a performance with Heidi Blickenstaff, one of Broadway’s finest talents and valued member of the Kander and Ebb family of performers,” said Altinel. “She shared many of her experiences and personal stories about working with the legendary song writing team and I am so proud of the students in our program.”
The Long Island Musical Theatre Festival is a non-profit program dedicated to producing a full-length musical in two weeks. During that time, students receive training from industry professionals while being surrounded by peers who share the same passion and skill set. Students get to have the opportunity to work with a Broadway guest artist, discuss resume building, and learn audition techniques. Please visit www.LIMTF.org for more information.
