Our HF Tradition of Excellence Continues to Thrive!
We know our students are truly amazing, and they have so much to offer their peers throughout the district. Just last week, high school students stepped into the role of teachers, delivering powerful lessons on the dangers of vaping to middle school students and providing support and encouragement during a collaborative art lesson at TJL. Beyond sharing their knowledge, our high school students continue to model a positive outlook and a passion for learning. I am so fortunate to witness these moments firsthand and see that the strong tradition of excellence continues to thrive in our students.
With the coming spring recess, my next weekly update to the community will be April 27th. I hope you all have a chance to enjoy time with family and friends.
Celebrating Our Heroes! - Salute To Veterans
Our students are also dedicated to giving back to the Harborfields community. Last week, students from the Harborfields High School, Vocal Ensemble, and Jazz Band came together to put on a concert and dessert reception for local veterans. Students from our high school Leadership Class played a special role, serving as greeters, ushers, and table companions, and our two musical groups delighted audiences with their talent. The veterans were also provided cards with messages of appreciation and support from our students at TJL.
This annual event is one of my favorites as it allows a meaningful way for our community to express our deep gratitude for the service and sacrifice of our local veterans.

National School Librarian’s Day
National School Librarian Day celebrates the invaluable role librarians play in transforming lives and strengthening our school communities. In Harborfields, we are fortunate to have our Library Media Specialists, Ms. Weiler, Ms. Boshnack, and Ms. Muchtin, who spark imaginations, fuel curiosity, and engage our students in exciting ways! Thank you for all you do!
Here are some of my favorite moments from this past week:
Harborfields High School:
Once again, Harborfields High School students earned well-deserved recognition at the Locust Valley Film Festival! Filmmakers from high schools across Long Island gathered for the festival, held on April 2. The entries were judged by industry experts and educators from Five Towns College. Congratulations to Aaron Alonso-Titmann, who won second place in the Animation category, and Ben Oren, who won third place in the Comedy category.
Oldfield Middle School:
OMS World Language students had a blast at their recent assemblies, where they learned the history of traditional Spanish and Italian dances. Not only did they watch captivating performances, but they also got to join in on the fun by learning the steps and showing off their own moves. It was a fantastic way to bring language and culture to life!
Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School:
In recognition of Autism Acceptance Month, TJL students welcomed award-winning author Amy McCoy, who shared her heartfelt book "Little Big Sister," the story of Katie and her older brother Mikey, who has Autism. Amy left a lasting impression on students and staff by sharing personal stories about her own family and encouraging everyone to be kind, empathetic, and inclusive. Many thanks to Harborfields SEPTA for facilitating this awesome assembly!
Washington Drive Primary School:
Students and staff wore blue in acknowledgement of World Autism Day on April 2. Throughout the month, students are encouraged to decorate an infinity symbol, which represents the infinite diversity and possibilities within the Autism spectrum. I look forward to seeing the beautiful display of infinity symbols in the hallways at Washington Drive.
