►Dancing
Classrooms Comes To Frank P. Long School
The entire fifth grade at
Frank P. Long Intermediate School will participate in the Dancing
Classrooms program in the spring. Twenty of our 5th grade students
had the opportunity to participate in a free ballroom dance lesson
with American Ballroom Theater’s Artistic Director Pierre Dulaine.
Dancing Classrooms was recently the subject of the documentary film,
Mad Hot Ballroom and Pierre Dulaine’s story was the inspiration for
the film, To Take the Lead, with Antonio Banderas. Students
participated in a forty minute lesson with Mr. Dulaine on Saturday,
November 15th. Parents were then invited to view a demonstration.
They also learned a few steps of the merengue and danced with their
children. Click on the pictures below.
►Congratulations
to the fifteen students at Bellport High School who earned AP
Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP
Exams! Congratulations also to the 170 students earning status on
the Principal's list and Scholars list for the 2007-2008 school
year.
