The fall season brings ripe apples from many of eastern Long Island tree farms. On Sept. 26, kindergarten students in Anne Culhane’s class celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day to honor the American pioneer/farmer who spread apple trees across the country.

The students first learned about this pioneer who was born in 1774 in Massachusetts as John Chapman. They crafted colorful apple hats to celebrate the day and then gathered around the table to collectively make applesauce.

It will surely be a day the kindergarteners will remember among their educational experiences.

The East Quogue community gathered in the school garden on Sept. 20 to celebrate the Harvest Moon with an evening of reflection and renewal. The festival, now in its third year, is an event that focuses on new beginnings and awakenings like that of the new school year.

Participants toured the school garden as it winds down for the fall season, painted rocks for the school’s Kindness Garden, and decorated paper lanterns. There was also ample time to gaze at the autumn sky.

The event not only provided time for the community to mingle but reawakened a sense of school community.

Thank you, Mrs. Rempe and all volunteers for creating another special event for the East Quogue community.

The fourth annual Fall Frenzy at East Quogue Elementary School culminated in a field day-like event filled with fun educational activities. Sponsored by the PTA, students visited stations on the school field hosted by special area teachers. Stations included music and movement, various physical education classes, pumpkin decoration, arts and crafts, building and literary activities. The students were also encouraged to join the faculty in wearing red Fall Frenzy T-shirts to demonstrate school spirit.

East Quogue School students truly know the meaning of the phrase “Farm to Table.”

During the summer, the Extended School Year program students planted string beans in the school’s garden, which were harvested last week by some of the fourth and fifth grade students and teacher aide Stephanie Rempe. The crop of beans was so abundant that Chef Laura had enough to cook and serve to the students at lunch!
