Setauket Elementary School third graders in Ms. Sheprow’s class teamed up with sixth graders in Mr. Aberg’s class for a spaghetti STEM challenge. Students worked in groups to see who could build the tallest tower using uncooked spaghetti noodles to support one large marshmallow. The activity encouraged students to think like engineers while being creative and focusing on different principles of design. Collaboration across grade levels also helped to foster a school community at Setauket.

Three Village students in prekindergarten through 12th grade streamed through the doors of their respective school buildings, prepared for a new year of learning on Sept. 3. The students were warmly welcomed by members of the Board of Education, the administration, faculty and staff with many of the campuses decorated with “welcome back” signs and balloons.

Students quickly found their classrooms and became reacquainted with their peers and teachers, followed by a full day of instruction.

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kevin Scanlon reported that opening day was a huge success and that he was excited to see such enthusiasm from the school community.
