Hooves
For Hope
Mrs. Suarez’ class
was treated to a visit from America and his owner
Sonny Garguilo. America and Sonny did a week long
ride from Montauk lighthouse to the Sands Point
Lighthouse to raise Autism Awareness. The class had
the opportunity to watch some of the ride on line
and cheered Sonny and America on during their long
and wet adventure. As a special treat and to thank
the class for their support, Sonny and America as
well as their friends, Johnny and Sis, stopped by to
visit. America and Sis performed many amazing
tricks for the students. The visit was exciting as
well as very informative.

committed to enriching the lives of children with
autism through equine-assisted activities.

Second
Grade Informance
On Wednesday, March 18, 2009, to celebrate Music in
Our Schools Month, the second graders at Brookhaven
Elementary School had their fifth annual
“Informance” – an informational performance. Each
class was given an opportunity to demonstrate, to an
audience of family members, what it is that we do in
music class on a weekly basis. We performed poems,
games, and dances as well as a variety of songs with
Orff accompaniment. We even involved the audience
in several activities (and they did an excellent
job)! The performance culminated with
instrumentalists from each class accompanying the
rest of the second grade on the song “Listen” by
Jeff Kriske and Randy DeLelles. Thanks to all of
our students’ hard work, this year’s Second Grade
Informance was a great success. Way to go, second
graders!
