Students Working Together

High School students and the fifth grade enrichment groups from all of the elementary schools are working together on a project entitled C.L.A.S.S. (children learning about social studies). The topic is the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World combined with the wonders of Canada, the United States and Mexico. Students work in groups and choose a wonder to research. Each group has a HS student as a mentor who assists the fifth graders by showing them how to navigate a web quest. The final product for the fifth grade students will be a newspaper on the wonders.

East Athletes Helping Athletes Program

Smithtown High School East’s Athletes Helping Athletes members went to five different Smithtown schools and visited with eighteen 5th grade elementary classes. This program brings high school students and their elementary counterparts together to discuss sportsmanship, healthy life styles and good decision making. The AHA members will visit the elementary students two more times before the end of this year to present a clear message on these extremely important topics.
