Clear Stream Avenue orients its new students

New students at Clear Stream Avenue School in Valley Stream District 30 are excited to start a year of learning after a warm welcome by the staff.

Students made their first visit to the building on Aug. 4. Teachers Sandra Aragona, Christine Pope, and Susana Valencia prepared various fun activities, including a chalk maze in which students jumped on bubbles, tip-toed along a flower stem, and took “bites” of watermelon. They also sat in the shade for a reading session and made crafts shaped like slices of watermelon.

Students took a group photo with their crafts after enjoying flavored ices to cool off from the summer sun. The orientation served to gear the students up  for the school year with new friends from their peers and teachers.
