In Mrs. Culhane's class this week, we witnessed a truly special moment that highlighted the bond between a student and his teachers.  

Everett, a bright and enthusiastic student, had the honor of presenting his VIP Poste rto the class, with his teachers, Mrs. J and Mrs. Miller, as the primary audience. 

From the moment he stepped in front of the class, there was an undeniable sense of excitement in the air. Everett's confidence was evident as he spoke about the people and experiences that made him feel like a very important person. 

What made this moment truly unforgettable wasn’t just Everett’s presentation—it was the incredible support and warmth from his teachers. Mrs. J and Mrs. Miller didn’t just listen to his words; theyfelthis enthusiasm. They were fully engaged, smiling, nodding, and offering encouraging words as Everett spoke. Their eyes lit up with pride, showing the love and dedication they have for their students.  

It was clear that this was a moment not just of academic achievement, but of emotional connection and celebration.

The district is proud to share that the East Quogue Elementary School Winter Concert, held on Dec. 17, was a beautiful celebration of our students’ hard work and musical growth!

The evening commenced with a special pre-concert performance, featuring six talented students from our Beginner Band. These young musicians showed tremendous progress as they confidently kicked off the program. The Advanced Band, under the direction of Ms. Penni Russo, delighted the audience with classic holiday tunes and even showcased several impressive soloists.

The Senior Chorus, led by Mrs. Kim Clemensen, then took the stage and filled the room with joy, singing a wonderful mix of contemporary Christmas favorites and traditional Hanukkah songs.

The dedication of the students and teachers shined through each performance, and it was clear that their efforts brought smiles to everyone in attendance. It was truly a memorable evening of music and community spirit.

Congratulations to all of our performers for their hard work and beautiful music. You made the district and your families so proud!
