Sands Point 2023
This November, our graduating class visited Sands Point Preserve. We completed a nature study by investigating grasslands, beach shores and forests. They even have two castles that were built many years ago.
On the sandy shore, overlooking the Long Island Sound, we dug up creatures, explored below the sand and examined sea life. In the grasslands, we found beetles, June bugs and worms. In the forest filled with tall trees, we found lantern flies and many non-living things, like decaying leaves and dirt.
Our trip was not only fun, but we learned a lot! We had a fun day!

Veterans Day Assembly
At Polk Street, every year, we honor Veterans that fought for our country and risked their lives. In the auditorium, special artwork was displayed and students read speeches. Mr. Torossian welcomes the Veterans and Mr. Trotta reads their names. The band plays to honor the Veterans that lost their lives. At the end, we all sang and took pictures with the special guests. It was such a nice day!

Cradle of Aviation Field Trip
5th grade had a blast at the Cradle of Aviation field trip. The drones were incredible. It was such an amazing way to learn how to code and use technology. 5th grade also learned about space and more with technology. We all got a tour around the building and were able to explore around with your friends. 5th grade had a blast.

Washington Street kicked off bullying prevention month with our annual Cool 2 Care Week from October 10th through October 13th. The students participated in a bunch of fun activities all week long including Decades Day, WSS Spirit Day and Pajama Day. Additionally, students enjoyed a treat at the “Kindness Cafe” run by the Building Team students and decorated our school walkway with kind messages for “Chalk it up to Kindness.” Classes also met with their Buddy Classes for Friendly Friday to build community and responsibility within the school.

Kindergarten Rock Garden
As part of a SEL and Art collaboration, kindergarten students decorated kindness rocks. Students learned about the importance of being kind, what kindness means to them and how spreading kindness can make others smile. On November 2nd students visited the bertini gardens and placed their rocks outside as a continuous reminder of how important kindness is.

Rise of Jack o Lantern
A great Washington Street tradition is the Rise of the Jack-o-lantern fundraiser. 6th grade students were asked to paint pumpkins. These pumpkins are put on display for each class to come and vote on which is their favorite. Students use quarters to vote on their favorite designs. The proceeds are donated to Susan Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
