On Nov. 6, John Lewis Childs School hosted its election for president and vice president of Student Council.
Students from kindergarten through sixth grade had the opportunity to listen to the candidates’ speeches and then cast their vote.
Aaminah Khondker was elected as president, and Roberto Salinas was elected as vice president.
Mrs. Mancusi’s kindergarten class’s recent story of the week was “Nature Spy” by Shelley Rotner and Ken Kreisler. When it was the students’ turn to be the nature spy, they had the opportunity to observe items from nature with their eyes first and then with a magnifying glass in the classroom. The lesson included science and math, as well as reading.

In celebration of the autumn season and upcoming Halloween holiday, the schoolyard at John Lewis Childs School transformed into a pumpkin patch from Oct. 27-28.
Pre-K to second grade students were invited to visit the patch, which was set up beneath an outdoor tent and decorated with scarecrows, hay and corn stalks. Once the students selected their perfect pumpkin, they headed over another tent that had two tables offering stickers and spooky masks. PTA members were stationed to help the students pick out their decorations, which would be used to personalize their pumpkins once they got back to the classroom.
Remote kindergartners, first graders and second graders were also invited to pick out pumpkins at the patch after school hours.

Second-graders at John Lewis Childs School have been busy learning!
John Lewis Childs School fourth graders and brothers Siddharth and Shaurya Doshi, along with their parents Jigar Doshi and Amita Gandhi-Doshi, have been collecting donations and distributing personal protective equipment (PPE) to local nursing homes and rehab facilities.
Using their 3D printer, the family was able to create eye preventative shields for distribution. Additionally, the donations they collected have been given to people who are stitching cloth face masks for nonessential workers such as electricians, plumbers and the elderly.
So far, the family has been able to donate PPEs to Townhouse Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing, Apex Rehabilitation and Healthcare, MHH Clinical Services PLLC, Ditmas Park Rehabilitation Center, Buena Vida Continuing Care and Rehabilitation Center, Hands On Physical Therapy and the Floral Park Police Department.

ARRIVAL PROCEDURES:
In order to avoid congestion, the main entrance should only be used if your child is attending an early morning activity or arriving to school after 8:20a.m. Most of our clubs and extra help do not begin until 7:30am. Please do not bring your child any earlier as our security personnel begins the day at 7:30am. All students that walk to school enter the school from the playground. Students should enter the building through the doors on either side of the auditorium (Exits 8 and 10). There are staff members monitoring these exits. The first bell rings at 8:10 a.m. and students may enter the building at this time. We ask that students who walk to school, time their arrival so as not to arrive before 8:10 a.m. They will not be considered late until 8:20 a.m.
DROP OFF PROCEDURES – Drop off is on the east side of Flower Avenue where staff members are stationed assisting in the utilization of the STOP, DROP, and ROLL procedure. These staff members guide students to walk to the corner of Flower and Elizabeth where the crossing guard directs students across the street. There are additional staff members at the receiving corner to guide students into the school building at the corner exit (Exit 15). This protocol enables parents to quickly pull to the curb and allow the child to exit the car and then pull right back out. It allows traffic in this area to move smoothly. Cars may not park in this area and children should have all their items on hand so that they may be able to quickly exit the car.
Please review the above procedures with your child and if you have any questions, please contact the main office.
