S cia I ^^ocActuita^ Be a Clown As part of Miss Levin's reading program, the child- ren discovered that there is an official college for clowns in Venice, Florida. It is part of the Ringling Brothers Circus. After reading about this we found out that learning to be a clown is no laughing mat- ter! (joke!!). It is quite difficult. You have to take courses in falling, doing tricks, and make up. Your clown's makeup has to be com- pletely individual. No two 'clowns may have the same face. In conjunction with our new found knowledge, we created our own clown faces and wrote stories about the life of a circus clown. We all enjoyed the experience.

SEPTA The East Rockaway Spe- cial Education Parent Teacher Association (SEPTA), met with Colleen Moseman trom the LEKOTEK Centre at the East Rockaway Public Library. Miss Moseman presented an interesting program which included a video describing the LEKOTEK world wide pro- gram. LEKOTEC is a pro- gram where Special Needs Children can borrow TOYS as well as educational mate- rials from the library. All families who have children with special needs are eligi- ble to join LEKOTEK, membership fee is low. After an initial visit with the par- REFLECTIONS OF ERHS by Sharon Verity The Halloween Party was fantastic. Decorations were up as well as the Halloween spirit. Activities ranging from raffles to ring tosses were available to all children interested and prizes were distributed in abundance. All of the costumes were great. The party was a huge success. The Student Coun- cil is to be commended for a job well done. A ghoulish time was had by all. A dance company visited the high school last week. The first assembly of the year was called and the stu- dents all attended. We wit- nessed a variety of routines performed by dancers from all over the world and the junior high students were fortunate enough to partici- pate in a workshop. Every- one enjoyed and appreciated the experience. Our Guidance Depart- ment sponsored a Financial Aid Seminar last Thursday. In addition to the advice offered by our guidance counselors, a financial officer from St. John's Uni- versity and a banking repre- sentative gave some very practical and encouraging advice to our parents. Our parents were reminded of some basic truths ~ a good ents, the LEKOTEK teacher will coordinate plans with the child's school or treat- ment center. The LEKOTEK teacher meets with the par- ents and child for one hour once a month. Learning materials are loaned for use at home during the month. The family then returns for a new selection. The East Rockaway Library is the only library in Nassau County to provide LEKOTEK services. If you are interested in this valua- ble service you may contact Bob Jacoby at East Rocka- way High School, 599-5028 or Colleen Moseman at the East Rockaway Public Library, 593-1222. Lynbrook Public Schools college education is expen- sive. No family has to be reduced to grinding poverty to send a child to college. Loans, grants and scholar- ships are available. Experts are ready to assist parents in applying for financial aid. Do not be frightened by financial aid forms ~ just follow the instructions and seek help where needed. Once you have narrowed your choice of colleges to a few, visit the on-campus financial aid office. The theme of the seminar and the title of the movie shown sums it all up ~ make your college \The Affordable Choice.\ A Fourth Grade Poet at Rhame Avenue Halloween Halloween is a day that comes once a year. A day everyone gets frightened or scared. All the kids have costumes and go trick or treat. A day when their meals are always to sweet. By the end of the night their tired and cold. And tomorrow all their stories will be told. They will count their money and sort their candy. And stuff their pockets for school on Monday. When School is over and it's time to go home. The kids have cramps and you hear only moans. Buy every the same old thing. So get the candy and wait for the doorbell to ring. by Cindy Purnhagen, 4-1 East Rockaway Recreation ROBERT JACOBY DIRECTOR, Shirley Nielsen Centre Avenue Representative, Jo Minutello President, Colleen Moseman Lekotek Leader, Gale Meagher Secretary, and Frankie Murphy, Membership.

It is updated annually and dis- tributed to all juniors at the high school. Leadership Team Stashia Blaha, home eco- nomics teacher from Lyn- brook High School and Marie-Antoinette Vitelli, home and career skills teacher from North Middle School, have been selected to be members of a statewide Home Economics Leader- ship Team for the second consecutive year. The team is sponsored by the New York State Education Department, Bureau of Practical Art and Career Awareness. The Home Economics Leadership Team is com- posed of 140 home econom- ics teachers, vocational technology teachers in Food Services and Child Care Services, administrators, guidance counselors, and teacher educators. This model of leadership pro- vides for dialogue and col- laboration among all those concerned with the home economics program in the school, teacher education colleges, and the State Edu- cation Department. Mrs. Blaha attended a leadership training confer- ence last August, which incorporated the use of the new Home Economics cur- riculum. She will carry out workshops during the new program. The new curricu- lum for grades 7 through 12 was developed in response to the Regent's Action Plan to improve elementary and secondary education in New York. \Home and Career Skills\ is the beginning course and is a Regent's mandate for all students. It teaches decision making, problem solving, and personal resource man- agement applied to the areas of nutrition and food prepa- ration, clothing, human development and relation- ships, consumer economics, money management and one's personal environment. Students build on this foundation to elect other Home Economics courses at the high school level. Sequences have been deve- loped around four clusters of content: Home and Per- sonal Management, Nutri- tion and Food, Textiles and Design, and Human Devel- opment. Youngsters may take a \sequence\ or a par- ticular individual class at either the high school or the Vocational Technology Boces Center.
