REFLECTIONS OF ERHS By Lisa Grunberger Thursday, April 12 market East Rockaway High School's first annual SADD Day. The day was filled with a variety ol activi- ties beginning with a 9-12th, grade assembly at 9:15 a.m., SADD advisor and school social worker Mrs. Marion Abramson introduced the program. Superintendent of schools, Mr. Michael Maiden introduced Senator Carol Berman who ad- dressed the students of the topic of drunk driving and offered some informative statistics. She, in turn, introduced the day's key- note speaker. Father Frank Pi/.arelli, who gave a highly moving and effective speech focusing on the problems that exist in our society. He emphasized that those prob- lems cause young people to turn to alcohol and drugs and sometimes even to sui- cide. One could \hear a pin drop\ as Father Pizarelli gave his speech. The 7th and 8th graders attended the assembly program imme- diately following the high school, and in addition, they saw a film. After the assembly, stu- dents went to 2 workshops that they had signed up for earlier in the week. The workshops were run by peo- ple concerned with alcoho- lism and its many facets, specifically alcohol used behind the wheel of a vehicle. Mrs. Abramson was \very pleased with SADD Day and the cooperation of the students, faculty, and staff.\ She would \also like to thank all the SADD members—Anthony Bell, Maureen Brandon, Lisa Grunberger, Gail Hoerman, Joe Cittadino, Margaret Kelly, Debbie Klinger, Kris- tine Klose, Lisa Mongitore, and Debbie Scalza~for ajob well done.\ Overall, the day received a great number of positive responses from both stu- dents and faculty as well as constructive criticisms; enlightening SADD mem- bers as to areas that need improvement as they begin projecting towards the 2nd annual SADD Day at East Rockaway High School.

The Lynbrook Schools- Lincoln Center aesthetic partnership was redefined last week, in a program presented before members. of the Board of Education and parents assembled. In her opening remarks, coor- dinator Barbara Hayes, principal of Waverly Park, called the Center program a \model for learning\ and stressed the experimental opportunities made possible with these techniques. The Lincoln Center part- nership began in 1980-81 school year. Initiated and supported by Superintend- ent of Schools Bern Seider- man, eight teachers enrolled that summer and 175 stu- dents saw the performances. Last year, 23 teachers in the district were enrolled and 600 students viewed the performances. On a voluntary basis, teachers may join the project by attending a three week all day training period at Juil- liard. The mornings are devoted to workshops on in- depth sessions of art, visual arts, music, drama and dance. In the afternoons, professional presentations are sigen. When the course is fin- ished, the teachers develop a plan for teaching and- throughout the term share their information with the students. This year, elemen- tary schools learned of the percussion quartet and the dance unit. Through class- room activities and a teach- ing artist, the children grasp the qualities and learn the disciplines of the subject. Each unit of study is culmi- nated in a formal presenta- tion. Other speakers were Leo- nard Davenport of the high school, Wilhelmina Holden of Marion Street, high school students, Liz Agro and Kristen Nordenholzand two parents, Mrs. Gold and Mrs. Goldberg. Panel members present also included Roseanne Sgritta and Judith Levine of the high school and student Anthony Gilas. An exhib- tion of works by the children were displayed and a film on second and fifth grade \dramas\ were presented simultaneously on four tele- vision sets. Jon Felfand handled the visual effects.
