Farmingdale High Students Build Hope: Local Youths Construct Home for Family in Need
Students from Farmingdale High School's Interact Club participated in a Habitat for Humanity project, building a home for a family in need. They performed tasks such as digging trenches and constructing fences. The project demonstrated the educational value of community service, teaching the students important life skills and the significance of helping others. The successful completion of the home provided tangible benefits to a family and reinforced the students' commitment to community service.'Visit here for more details.
Plain Talk: A graduation message
It’s hard to believe that we are in the midst of another college graduation season. As an educator, I have valued my time teaching college and graduate students. Since the pandemic, educating college students has changed radically. Their academic skills could be stronger, as well as their critical thinking and analytical writing skills. However, I have still found them open to new ideas and broader perspectives on their view of the world. Like many of my colleagues, I am concerned about their tendency towards isolation and their disconnectedness from their peers.
