The Harborfields Central School District celebrated National Kindness Day on Nov. 14. Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School classes participated in a “hot seat” activity, in which one student is selected to sit facing away from the board while the class takes turns writing kind messages about the selected student, while fourth graders at the school in Samantha Little’s class added kind messages to Starbucks coffee sleeves and gave them out.  At Washington Drive Primary School, students listened to the story “A Little Spot of Kindness,” and students who were “caught being kind” earned a yellow spot to wear.

SCMEA Day of Tuba thumbnail252206

Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School fifth graders Cristiano DeLorenzo and Trevor DeNisco, and Harborfields High School students Ezra Behr and Lachlan Granger represented Harborfields with pride at the Suffolk County Music Educators’ Association’s Day of Tuba and Euphonium Festival on Nov. 3. This event focused on a massed tuba and euphonium ensemble including students of all ages, and everyone present was treated to a clinic with internationally celebrated educator, performer and creator Lance LaDuke. The evening culminated in a concert for families featuring a recital by LaDuke, an all-star ensemble of high school students (including Granger) and, finally, the massed ensemble performing crowd pleasers like “Captain America March,” “Surrender” and “Auld Lang Syne.”

“This event is one of my favorite days of the year,” TJL Band Director Courtney Kassinger said. “It’s a very unique experience to be in an ensemble full of just tubas and euphoniums, and a wonderful opportunity for our elementary students to interact and perform with our high school students.”
