Five Star Coverage Corp Insurance 75B Montauk Highway, Blue Point, New York 567-1111 Specializing in Coastal Homes and Properties An Electrifying Lesson Blue Point Elementary School fourth-grade students learned about electricity, important safety tips, different types of power and fossil fuels when a PSEG represen- tative visited the building to conduct an informative workshop. During the visit, the speaker shared his knowledge of working with electricity and even conducted a demonstration. As a complement to their classroom lessons, the stu- dents learned about the basics of electricity, how it is made and distributed to homes all over Long Island and several electrical safety tips. Using a model house, the presenter explained what would happen should a downed electric current enter the house from an outside source. He also explained the safety equipment that workers need to use when fxing electrical lines for customers and allowed the students the chance to take an up- close look at several items. At the end of the program, each student received an activity book and teachers conducted follow-up discussions on the topic. Blue Point Elementary School fourth-grade students learned about electricity when a representative from PSEG visited the school. Going Bald for a Cause With the help and support of the surrounding community, the National Junior Honor Society at James Wilson Young Middle School in the Bayport-Blue Point School District collected $8,667 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, an organization set on fnding cures for childhood cancer. Contributing to this year’s successful event were the 65 individuals who volun- teered to shave their locks, and the countless others who selfessly gave to the cause both at the event and through the NJHS’s online donation drive. As this year’s drive had a personal connection for the school – it was held to honor seventh-grader Casey McLehose and sixth-grader Marco Daidone – the NJHS was able to surpass their initial goal as well as last year’s donation of $6,980. The school extends special thanks to the event’s two barbers, Lynne and Arlene from La Rage Hair Salon in Bayport. James Wilson Young Middle School National Junior Honor Society members collected $8,667 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation as part of their head-shaving volunteer drive.
