Take a look at some of the capital projects that are taking place at the Friendly Schools this summer!

Forest Road concluded a week of celebratory milestones during their moving-up ceremony! Congratulations to all of our sixth graders throughout the Friendly Schools on this achievement!

Clear Stream Avenue's sixth graders proudly said farewell to the Friendly Schools during their moving-up ceremony!

Sixth graders throughout the Friendly Schools were proud to celebrate their incredible journeys during three moving-up ceremonies! Here are some highlights from Shaw Avenue's commencement ceremony! Stay tuned for more highlights from this week's celebrations!

Students performed a medley of songs for their family members centered around heroism and bravery, and Principal Kelly Nicholson commended each student for all of their incredible achievements!

Forest Road's kindergartners soared to new heights during their moving-up ceremony! Kindergartners and their teachers wore vibrant shirts that read “Super Ready for 1st Grade!”

Students then performed a collection of songs for their family members, and Principal John Singleton recognized each student for all of their accomplishments. Afterward, each student received a certificate from their teachers.

On Monday, Clear Stream rolled out the red carpet for kindergartners during their moving-up ceremony! Held in the school’s gymnasium, students dressed to impress as they proudly marched down the red carpet in front of their parents, siblings, and teachers!

Thank you to all of the brave men and women who sacrificed for us and our freedom.

All of the honorees received gifts from the board of education, and many received a flower bouquet from their principals. The district would like to thank its staff members for all of their hard work and for being dedicated members of the Valley Stream 30 school community!

Twelve educators in Valley Stream District 30 received tenure during the board of education’s monthly meeting! Principals at all three schools created a thoughtful video to honor their amazing educators.

We would also like to congratulate James Lavery for being re-elected to the Board of Education with 359 votes. Thank you to our Valley Stream 30 residents for your continued support!

As part of an Operation Battery simulation, students used magnifying glasses to closely examine the different minerals such as pyrite, calcite, malachite, and lepidolite based on their color.

Second graders at Shaw Avenue recently completed a weeklong interactive program called Submerge Storytelling! The program aims to inspire creativity in children by facilitating a physical and metaphysical environment where they can lose themselves in their imaginations.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all of our amazing teachers at The Friendly Schools! Thank you for going above and beyond for our students!
