April 1 Deadline Math Team For Transportation At The Top State law requires that parents who are planning to send children to private or parochial schools in September must file an ap- plication for special tran- sportation by April 1 with their local school district. In the case of parochial elementary schools or diocesan high schools, tran- sportation will be provided only to the nearest available school of a particular denomination. Request forms have been supplied to all schools to which students are currently being transported and may be obtained from the main offices of those schools. Forms may also be obtained by writing to the Director of Transportation, Farmingdale Union Free School District, 521 Conklin Street, Farmingdale, New York 11735 or by calling 249-7600, Extension 211. These requests must be filed each year whether or not your child is currently transported. It will not be necessary to file individual requests for St. Kilian's, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. James or Maria Regina Elementary Schools. Transportation to private and parochial schools is provided in accordance with the mileage policies of the district. Those children in Grades Kdgn through 3 must live more than one-half mile from the school to be at- tended. Children in Grades 4 through 6 must live more than one mile from school and those in Grades 7 through 12, more than one and one-half miles from the school to be attended. If eligible for transportation under this policy, complete transportation is provided to schools up to a maximum of 15 miles. In cases of schools beyond the 15 mile limit from the district, the school district arranges transportation but absorbs only $230 of the cost per year per child. The parents are responsible for the cost in excess of the $230 and enter into a private agreement with the contractor. Farmingdale Senior High School's Math Team is currently at the top of its division in the Nassau County Math League. Ron Cavallaro, faculty advisor, also indicates that three Far- mingdale students are currently in the top fifteen ranking of math students in the County. These include Don Priore, Gregg Fabregas, and Frederick Rosen. At the end of the year the top fifteen students will represent the County in the New York State play-offs. Teams from most of Nassau County's 54 public school districts and several non-public high schools are represented in the League and Farmingdale competes against teams from Syosset, Herricks, Mineola, Port Washington, Plainedge, Beth- page, Holy Trinity, and Hicksville in its division. The team is looking forward to beating last year's results which included first place in its group standings, second in the North Shore, and twelfth in the County. United States. Since 1952 the Oginski choir has been under the direction of Prof. Antoni Kaz- miercza, national director of the Polish Singers Alliance of America. There are now some Americans of Polish descent in the choir. All of the members and their famous conductor have one thing in common: love of Polish song, music, and tradition. The patron of the Oginski choir, Prince Michael Kleofas Oginski, had a life very similar to some members of this organization. He was forced to leave his country and finding himself among strangers in a foreign country, in nostalgia he composed a famous polonaise, \Pozegnanie Ojc- zyzny\ (Farewell to the Fatherland), which is now the theme song of the Oginski choir. The Oginski choir has appeared in many concerts at Carnegie Hall, Bushnell Memorial Hall, (Hartford, Conn.), Academy of Music, (Philadelphia, Pa.), Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the World's Fair, and on radio and television programs. Friday, March 6, the Oginski choir will be heard in concert at the Weldon E. Howitt Jr. High School auditorium as part of The Eastern European Heritage Concert presented by the Far- mingdale Bicentennial Com- mittee. Other participants in that concert are: The Balalaika and Domra Society of New York, The Osenenko Ukrainian Folk Dancers, and Sonya Chamina, an interpreter of Gypsy songs. The concert begins at 8 pm. Donation is $1.50 for adults and $.50 for children under 15. • St. Kilian Parents To Meet Tonight The faculty and parents of St. Kilian's elementary school are having a meeting on Thursday, February 26, at 8:30 p.m. in the school auditorium. This meeting will be the first in a new program aimed at providing more op- portunity for the parents, who are the primary educators of their children, and the teachers to discuss the curricula and methods currently used in teaching the children of St. Kilian's The theme for the evening will be a presentation on \In- dividualization,\ followed by small group discussions broken down according to primary, intermediate and junior high levels. Parents will be able to sit and discuss individualization as a method, and also such topics as the new report cards and the reading program, with the teachers and other parents of their child's grade level. There is a lot of hope on the part of the faculty and many of the parents that evenings like these will foster a closer in- volvement and better com- munication between school and parents. Mothers and fathers are invited, and also any parents whose children do not attend St. Kilian's, but might be interested in discovering more about Catholic education. Refresh- ments will be served.
