year. According to Oyster Bay Town Councilman Anthony D. Macagnone,
residents are invited to submit a photo that captures the fun and recreation­al
opportunities of the Town.
' There is no place in the Town of Oyster Bay that isn't a photographer's

the back of the photograph.
" We will place winners in two categories: those up to 17 years of age and
those 18 and older. All first, second and third place winners in both cate­gories
will receive plaques their photos may even be selected for a future
Town- wide publication, or one of our upcoming calendars," Councilman
Macagnone said, adding that the 2005 Town calendar features shots from
previous " Play in Oyster Bay" photo contests. The Councilman further noted
that because award- winning photos may be used in future publications, win­ners
will be asked to supply a release from each identifiable person in the
photograph.

Town Waives Fee to Encourage
Adoption of
Aged/ Terminally III Pets
Few things are more
heartbreaking than a dog or cat in
the last stages of its life due to a
terminal illness. To encourage
adoption of such animals, the Oyster
Bay Town Board has waived the
normal adoption fee, according to
Town Councilwoman Rose Marie
Walker.
" Occasionally, animals housed in
the Town of Oyster Bay's animal
shelter are facing their final days due
to a terminal illness," Councilwoman
Walker stated. " There are people
who are willing to adopt these
animals so they can spend their last
few weeks or months in a loving
home. To encourage such
adoptions, the Town Board has
waived the standard adoption fee of
$ 65.00 for dogs and $ 59.00 for
cats."
Councilwoman Walker noted that
there will still be a license fee for
adopting a dog.
" While the Town of Oyster Bay '
Animal Shelter has all the amenities
a cat or dog could want, including
the loving attention of the staff,
nothing can match having a real
home and family they can call their
own," Councilwoman Walker stated.
" Having a home can make all the
difference for a terminally ill animal.
There have been documented
cases where a dog or cat has
outlived even the best doctor's
predictions because someone gave
it a home in which to spend its final
days. All these animals are looking
for is that one special individual or
family to cherish them for the rest of
their lives. The people who adopt
these animals are very special,
indeed, and it is the Town Board's
hope that waiving the adoption fee
will encourage more people to adopt
a terminally ill animal."
For further information, contact
the Animal Shelter at 677- 5784. It is
open Monday through Saturday,
8: 00 a. m. to 4: 00 p. m.

Vaccine Still Available to Nassau
County Physicians
Today, the New York State
Department of Health ( NYSDOH)
announced new guidelines
governing the dispensing of flu
vaccine. Specifically, the NYSDOH
said that flu vaccine distribution
could be expanded to include all
adults aged 50 and over.
However, the Nassau County
Department of Health believes that
there are still significant numbers of
seniors, medically- at- risk and
pregnant women who need flu
vaccine. Therefore, the Health
Department recommends that
physicians should continue to focus
on vaccinating these high priority
patients.
" In many areas of the state and
country, demand for the flu vaccine
has dropped substantially," said Dr.
David Ackman, Commissioner of
Health. " In Nassau County we
continue to hear from seniors,
persons with chronic illness and
their doctors who say they have not
been able to get vaccinated.
Therefore, I think it appropriate that
we maintain the original focus on
high risk persons."
This guideline is in keeping with
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention ( CDC) and the NYSDOH
recommendations regarding the
expansion of the flu vaccine for
healthy people, aged 50- 64, only in
areas where the designated high
priority groups have already been
vaccinated.
Nassau County is continuing to
distribute additional supplies of
vaccine to Nassau County
physicians for their patients who are
65 years of age or older, medically in
need or pregnant. In addition, the
department is providing flu vaccine
to hospitals, nursing homes and
long term care residential facilities to
meet their needs.
At this time, there are 12,600
doses of flu vaccine available with an
additional 10,000 doses expected
in mid January.
To date, since the shortage was
announced in October, Nassau
County has provided over 50,000
doses of vaccine to providers in
addition to the 7,624 doses
administered to seniors at the
November 20- 21 weekend flu clinic.
Health care providers and
residential facilities in need of flu
vaccine should contact the Nassau
County Department of Health
weekdays from 9: 00 am - 4: 30 pm at
571- 3345.

communities. There are presently
over one hundred boys waiting for
Big Brothers.
Do you remember the person in
your own life, other than your
parents, who broadened your
horizons, brought a smile to your
face, or made life a little more
magical? Was it a coach? A favorite
teacher? An uncle or a family friend?
Who was your mentor?
By being a Big Brother, you can
do that for a child by simply being
you and doing the things you like to
do together. Take in a movie, play
some video games, shoot some
hoops or work on the car together.
Take your little brother to his first
baseball game. Or teach him how to
play golf. The magic of mentoring
lies in the little moments you share
together.
A Big Brother is not a substitute
parent but rather an adult friend to a
child who needs some extra
attention. While you are spending
time and having fun together, you'll
watch a boy grow up to be a better
man just by knowing you.
Big Brothers Big Sisters has
been the premiere mentoring
agency on Long Island since 1977,
and has cultivated thousands of
relationships for children in need of
additional support and guidance.
Results from an independent study
showed that children who met
regularly with their " Bigs" were less
likely to skip school, were more
confident about their schoolwork,
had improved relationships with their
parents and peers, and were
significantly less likely to engage in
negative and destructive behavior.
To become a Big Brother, please call
516- 731 - 7880 or visit our web site at

Editor's Notebook
Just Gotta Get It Off My Chest
Okay, I'll admit it! I'm so excited that American Idol is back for
another season and I plan on shutting off my phones and planting
myself in my chair for it's weekly airing. Yes, yes I do like reality
television shows. I enjoy watching Fear Factor, I've been known to
tune into Growing Up Gotti, I've been glued to my seat to find out who
the Survivor will be and I feel as though the gents from Orange County
Choppers are my extended relatives. Reality shows do entertain
me... well some do anyway. However there have been some reality
television shows that just don't cut it for me, and the newest edition to
the reality show line up just plainly disgusts me. It is called Who's
Your Daddy? And while I wouldn ' t bother to tell you what time or
channel it is one I will tell you that to me the entire foundation of this
show is disgusting. It seems the premise of the show is to have an
adoptee pick out who they think their father is from a crop of likely
candidates. YUKU! I rather see people sing out of tune, eat cow
eyeball or put together a theme motorcycle ANYDAY!
I think it is a cruel and almost inhumane to have a person who does
not know whom their father is, guess from a lineup of men. This is way
to emotional an issue to be a part of any realty series and while The
Littlest Groom and When Animals Attack also made me cringe, this
attempt, is in my opinion perhaps the crudest yet.
The quest to find ones parent is a journey that is filled with all sorts
of emotional issues. I cannot imagine a child having to put these
" potential dads" through tests and or questioning and then told to
make a selection on national television. This show has just stooped a
little too low to be considered any kind of entertainment at all even for
me, a professed Reality Show fan. Just give me a bowl of popcorn, a
cup of tea and an hour of Simon and I'm sure to smile.
* * * * * * * * * *
And now we move on to Mr. Trump and his newest acquisition
Melania. No she's not a new Las Vegas Casino or a new luxury
condominium complex... she's his fiancee. It seems THE DONALD, in
all his modesty, will be taking a trip down the aisle this weekend to
marry his third wife. Melania, so it seems, has spent a lot of time and
effort in deciding what she will be wearing on that magical day that
she becomes Mrs. " You're Fired". But it not the amount of time that
she spent selecting the dress that will surprise you. Rather it's plainly
the amount she spent!! The gown is estimated to cost... okay sit
down...$ 200,000!!! Can you imagine? A dress, just one dress that you
wear for a few hours costs as much as some houses ( okay not any
houses in Bethpage, but a house in many other places!) It is said to be
littered in crystal Milestones, pearls and more satin than I would need
to make every window treatment in my house. Holy cow, I wonder how
much the headpiece and shoes cost? I guess it is all relative when you
have as much money as Mr. Trump yet the practical side of me asks
the question " Is any gown worth $ 200,000 dollars?" I think not but I
guess when you look at some of the price tags on many celebrity
gowns it would almost make this one seem reasonable. Oh wait I
forgot to mention one minor detail. It seems that Melania's $ 200,000
dream wedding dress is so uncomfortable and difficult to wear that she
has had another dress made which she will slip into right after she
says I do. After all doesn ' t every bride need two wedding dresses ?
* * * * * * * * * *
Now that all of that is off my chest I can discuss the really important
stuff like... how empty my house looks after I take down all of the
Christmas decorations, how many New Year's resolutions I have
broken already and why I keep misplacing my cell phone. But I'll save
all that for next week!

Central Park Historical Society
Holiday Party - December 15,
the members of the Central Park
Historical Society and friends
gathered to celebrate the Holiday
Season. Each bought a special food
to share while we enjoyed the
company of each other. The true
meaning of the season is the value
of friendship.
We had no planned program for
the evening, then Mr. Settino
discussed with us the grave
concerns over the tragic traffic
accidents that have occurred over
the. past few years in our community.
It is a sadness that has not only
touched Bethpage, but it is one that
is all around us. He feels it is time to
reevaluate the value of the Drivers
Education Program which no longer
exists in our public schools. It is time
to teach and reinforce the value and
importance of good driving skills.
Wishing for all a safer new year.
Due to the possibility of bad
weather in the months of January
and February the Society will not
hold a regular monthly meeting. You
will receive a March newsletter
informing you of the spring
schedule.

January and February Days
- 1 suppose by the time you receive
this newsletter most New Years
Resolutions have been bent a bit if
not broken. All implemented with
very good intentions. January 17,
time to celebrate and acknowledge
the strides made by Martin Luther
King, Jr., towards a more just society
for all and to end racial
discrimination. February 9, the
beginning of the Lenten Season
with Ash Wednesday. February 14,
Valentines day comes in the middle
of winter, a day to warm our hearts
with thoughts of love. February 21,
Presidents Day. Until 1971 we
celebrated the birthdays of
President Abraham Lincoln on
February 12 and President George
Washington on February 22 both as
federal holidays. In 1971 President
Nixon proclaimed one single federal
holiday to be observed on the 3rd
Monday in February to honor all past
presidents of the United States of
America. A day we applaud our great
presidents for their efforts to
establish and preserve a united
country where individuals are valued
and to recognize the strength of
one nation under God.
Stepping back time to 1956,
January 8, Sunday night TV
programs on CBS were: Lassie, Jack
Benny, The Ed Sullivan Show, G. E.
Theater and Alfred Hitchcock, on
January 31, Tuesday night on NBC
were: Dinah Shore, News, Milton
Berle, and Jane Wyman Presents.
On February 11, Chief
Epidemiologist at New York's
Memorial Center for Cancer and
Allied Diseases, Dr. Ernest Wynder,
reports that tobacco smoking is the
cause of 80% of their cancer cases.
Coffee drinkers were paying an
average price of $ 1.03 for 1 lb., of
coffee. Happenings in 1956.
Community Council Met
December 2 - President Teri Black
has her data base up and running.
The membership was informed of
tonight meeting via e- mail. The
members of the council are
representatives of all organized
groups in our community and any
person who is interested in keeping
informed of the happenings in our
community are welcomed to attend
the meetings on the first Thursday
of the month in the Bethpage
Library.
• Timothy Zike, from Supervisor
Venditto's office of the Town of
Oyster Bay, was in attendance and
informed us he will continue to
attend Community Council meetings
to address our concerns about our
town. Mr. Zike told us about the
legislation that was approved by the
Town of Oyster Bay which will
provide housing for first time buyers
referred to as, Next Generation
Housing. The housing will be built
on a minimum of 2 acres of land with
12 units per acre. There is a
screening process which is being
developed to determine who will
qualify and the rules governing the
purchase.
• The council will not meet on the
first Thursday in January. We will be
informed when Deputy
Commissioner of Parks Robert
Walker is prepared to address the
council on plans for reconfiguring
the Bethpage Community Park. The
council hopes to have input into the
planning.
• Vision for the 105 acres of Navy
owned property located on the
Northrop/ Grumman site was
discussed. We all expressed our
concerns and disappointment with
the presentation of the proposals for
redevelopment of this land. We
agreed that the volume of housing
was not the recommendations of
those who volunteered their time to
express ideas for the preferred use
of the land. We do realize to
accomplish the proposals regarding
size of buildings and change from
industrial to residential use will
require zoning changes from the
town of Oyster Bay. A task force will
be formed by the council to
challenge the three proposals.
• We are pleased with the new
look on our stores on the west side
of Broadway with the new facade
and awnings.
• Construction to repair the
damaged bridge on Central Ave.
over the Bethpage State Parkway is
once again under way.
• The concern of the illegal
apartments was discussed and the
impact they have on our schools,
streets and services.
War in Iraq is Close to
Bethpage - I have permission from
Mary McCaffery to share the letters
sent to her and jack from their son,
Mike, who is now in Tikrit, Iraq.
The Fallujah operation is going
on now. One of our battalions is
down there. The 2.2 infantry is
doing well but the fight is much
harder than the one we were
engaged in Samarra last month. The
Marines and Army troops have a lot
of support... still, Fallujah is ground
zero for beheadings and vehicle
bombs.
He went on to describe the Iraqi
family that had been working for the
Army in Tikrit. The husband, wife
and two assistants were followed as
they left work. Their bodies were
found with their limbs severed. After
being mutilated, they had been
shot.
These are the people we are
fighting against.
One week later.. The war ebbs,
and flows here. Two days ago we
had 51 attacks, the highest number
for one day yet. The last few days of
Ramadan, which we are now
concluding, are the so- called " Days
of Power," martyrs rush to Allah.
Among the more benign traditions
such as giving to the poor, it is their
last chance for guaranteed glory
beyond the grace so we're seeing a
lot of " one- way" missions ( suicide
attacks) from the enemy.
Amazingly, we still have a lot of
Iraqi National Guard and police
working with us. Two police stations
were attacked in our area and both
times the police fought off the
attackers, perhaps knowing that
their lives depended on it.
I'm sure it looks very bad from
back there, but with Bush's victory
the enemy knows we are not going
to back out soon. The biggest
question is still the elections, can
the Iraqis actually pull them off. We'll

My thoughts... it occurred to me
the other day that while the United
States never found the weapons of
mass destruction, we did find
evidence of another kind of
destruction... the destruction of
human life. To me, that is as
compelling an argument for our
involvement in Iraq as the elusive
cache of weapons of mass
destruction.
We are proud of you Mike, and all
the men and women who are in
harms way. You're in our prayers, as
well as, your mom who is our friend
and councilwoman, your dad who
taught so many, not only math, but
values in Bethpage High School,
your brothers, sisters and extended
families.

Letter To The Editor
For many years, tradition held that our graduating Senior students would
take a weekend long trip to a shore town in New Jersey immediately after the
Senior Prom. Many parents are lulled into thinking that " everyone is going"
and it is an OK thing for them to do. Many are led to believe this is a school
sponsored trip. That is far from the case. We all know the inappropriate
behavior some teens ( not all) experience on a trip such as this.
What we are proposing and working towards is providing a SENIOR WEEK
of events with the goal of keeping our Seniors close to home -- SAFE. We've
created a brand new school- based committee comprised of Administrators,
Teachers, Students and Parents, and are working on many alternative events
and have some great ideas such as a Pool Party in the Community Park, a
Barbecue, perhaps a Senior Trip, and a breakfast. Nothing is set in stone as
of yet, as all of the above requires much planning and, of course, money!
In order to achieve this " Senior Week" we have rescheduled our Senior
Prom to later in the month of June ( rather than the first week). We have
required mandatory attendance at a rehearsal the day after the prom. We
believe that surrounding the Prom with so many exciting and fun activities will
provide a " not to be missed" environment for the students -- so much fun that
" a trip to the shore" will become a thing of the past.
Our Principal, John De Tommaso, has spoken to many of the students
about these changes. They are beginning to get excited, and are offering
their own suggestions for activities. We don't want to let them down.
All of the above costs money. The Senior Class is, of course, trying to
raise money for their senior events. As a PTSA President, I feel I can share
how difficult it is to raise funds at the High School Level. We no longer have
fun events where we sell cute items or " holiday gifts or plants" to the
students. Our PTSA Unit - operating for the first time in five years in the
BLACK ( we're very proud of that) -- has designated $ 500 for Senior Week
2005. We are happy to do so -- we're dedicated to assisting the school district
in providing a SAFE, HAPPY Senior Week for all our students. Obviously,
$ 500 doesn't go very far and the less money we have, the less we can offer
the students to keep them at home in Bethpage.
It is with the above in mind that I invite everyone to support a brand new
event - our first Community Book Sale. The dates of the event are Thursday,
Jan. 20th at 2: 30 pm - 9 pm, Friday, Jan. 21st from 2: 30 pm - 6 pm and on
Saturday, Jan. 22nd from 10: 30 am until 3 pm and will be held in the Aux.
Gym at the High School. All proceeds will go directly to our 2004/ 05 Senior
Class to help make Senior Week happen. We have always appreciated the
involvement of the community over the years, and we are confident that
everyone will again assist us by attending this worthwhile fundraiser to help
keep our Class of 2005 HEALTHY, HAPPY and most of all, SAFE and
SOUND.
Sincerely,
Laura Sterling

Math Made Edible at
Central Blvd.
Students from Barbara Cataldi's
fifth grade class at Central Boulevard
Elementary School in Bethpage
recently combined their artistic
abilities with their mathematical skills.
In time for the holidays, the students
with help from their teachers and
parent volunteers constructed
GEOBread Houses. A GEOBread
House is a gingerbread house made
by combining math and art. To
prepare to make their GEOBread
House the students first had to
make a blueprint of their house on a
piece of paper using a ruler to
measure the candy decorations by
using a scale to make sure the
weight of the candy would not be
too heavy for the house they had
drawn. Once the GEOBread Houses
were complete the students
brought them home so that they
could share them with their families.

Toys From Bethpage Run Bring Joy to Children at Mercyfirst, the
Lakeview/ Youth Association and the Maryhaven Center For Hope
Nearly 500 toys were donated by
participants at the 2004 Carter,
DeLuca, Farrell & Schmidt Ho Ho Ho
Holiday Run, held on the roads of
Bethpage on December 18, and the
Greater Long Island Running Club
were pleased to once again donate
most of them to mercyFirst Children
and Family Services, who distributed
them to some very receptive
children at the annual mercyFirst
Holiday Party on December 28.
mercyFirst ( formerly St. Mary's
Children and Family Services) is a
private, not- for- profit corporation
licensed by the New York State
Office of Children and Family
Services, whose mission is to offer a
" safe haven" for families in crisis.
Through the years it has evolved
into a comprehensive service
provider that addresses the physical
and emotional needs of children and
adolescents who are victims of
abuse, domestic violence,
emotional disturbance, substance
abuse, homelessness and poverty.
It provides residential services for
children at its 64 acre Syosset
campus, at seven community- based
group home settings, supervised
independent living apartments, and
foster boarding homes. mercyFirst

Greater L. I. Running Club's 50
Kilometer Run
The Greater Long Island Running
Club has announced that a
significant portion of the proceeds
from its March 6, 2005 Caumsett 50
Kilometer Run will be dedicated to
the " Jake Brower Fund - A Miracle in
Progress," to help 5 year old
Massapequa youngster Jake Brower
and his family get their lives back
together in the aftermath of a series
of serious medical problems that
have plagued Jake for over a year.
Runners and walkers of all ages
and levels of ability are invited to join
Run Director Vinny Croce and the
Club at Caumsett State Park for the
third annual Caumsett Park 50
Kilometer Run to enjoy a wonderful
day of running, and to help Jake and
his family.
The course is a 2.3 mile loop on a
paved path, giving everyone the
chance to explore this beautiful park
with some outstanding scenic views
overlooking Long Island Sound.
There will be one aid station per
loop, fully stocked with water, sports
drinks and food snacks. Wild by
Nature is generously donating the
snacks and drinks, so you can be
sure of some quality refreshments!
Each entrant will get a top quality
long sleeve T shirt.
You have your choice of starting
your 50 kilometer journey at 8: 00
AM or 10: 00 AM, hopefully resulting
in everyone finishing at roughly the
same time, and everyone having an
equal opportunity to enjoy the post
Race Party ( 3: 30PM) and Awards
Ceremony ( 4: 00PM). The course will
officially close at 4: 00 PM, leaving
plenty of time ( 8 hours) for even the
slowest runner to finish the 50K
distance.
Not up to 50K? Hey, it's a loop
course, and every entrant is free to
make their own distance ( e. g. do
nine loops and make it a 21 mile
training run). Sign up and be a part
of Long Island's only Winter Ultra!
" When the going gets tough, the
tough surely get going, and I hope
that as many tough folks as possible
will get going to Caumsett State Park
on March 6," observed Run Director |
Vinny Croce. " Jake is certainly a
tough little kid, and we all need to
give a little bit to help Jake and his
family back on the road to normal
lives!"
The entry fee is only $ 26 for
entries received by February 28,
$ 30 for entries received between
March 1 and March 5, and $ 35 on
the day of the Run.
For more information contact
Vinny Croce at ( 516) 829- 0878 or
email him at vinruna@ aol. com.

ATTEND OUR GANG AWARENESS SEMINAR
TO DISCUSS WHAT CAN BE DONE TO
COMBAT THIS GROWING PROBLEM
Nassau County Legislator Edward P. Mangano
would like to invite you to an important Gang
Awareness Seminar. Legislator Mangano and
members of the Nassau County Detectives
Association will be on hand to discuss this
growing problem at the:
PLAINEDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
200 Stewart Avenue, Bethpage
^/ WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2 0 0 5 at 7: 00 PM
A Nassau County Police Sergeant recently said that there are
nearly 3,000 active gang members in Nassau County, and that
number continues to grow. In the past year, there have been
over 100 gang related incidents throughout the county. This is
an important issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possi­ble,
all are invited and encouraged to attend.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
Legislator Mangano's Office at 571- 6217
provide support to families whose
children are at risk of foster care
placement.
In short, the good people at
mercyFirst are doing wonderful
work, and the Club is privileged and
proud to be able to help them in this
small way every December.
Everyone who donated a toy this
year can take special pride in having
made the Holidays a bit brighter for a
youngster who is having some
tough time's!
Thanks to the generous
donation by Alan Sobel and all the
other wonderful people at South
Shore Outdoor, the Club had a large
quantity of basketballs that it was
able to donate to Charlie Nanton,
head of the Lakeview Youth
Association for use by Lakeview
youngsters. Finally, the Club
certainly couldn't say " no" when it
was asked to distribute a bunch of
toys to the children at Maryhaven
Center of Hope, so they benefitted
from the generosity of the Bethpage
Run participants as well.
Pictured here at the mercyFirst Holiday Party, Ho Ho Ho Run
Co- Directors Bob Sherman ( L) and Joe Sturgess ( 2nd L), and

Good Shepherd Students Are
Groovin' In Music and Movement
By Maria A. Schulz
Students at Good Shepherd
Lutheran School in Plainview are
getting their groove on in an
innovative new class called " Music
and Movement," taught by Mrs.
Angeline Lorch.
Mrs. Lorch, who has been
formally trained in dance, developed
this program to get 3- and 4- year
olds singing, dancing, and swaying
to the music. Every week, the
children start the program with a
friendly " Hello Song" that gets them
smiling. Then, they go to the mat for
some vigorous stretching, tumbling
and skipping as a fun warm- up.
Another part of the program
features a different musical
instrument that the children get to
see, touch, and even play. One
week, they got to see the Shakeree
-- an instrument that comes from
West Africa in Nigeria. Mrs. Lorch
told the children all about how this
unusual instrument is made from
fruit! Although the fruit comes in
many different sizes, the largest is
called AGEBE. The hull of the fruit is
hollowed out, and seeds are placed
in it. The children were delighted as
they handed the Shakeree around
their tiny circle, shaking it to produce
a sound that was a lot like maracas.
The following week, Mrs. Lorch
taught the children about the
Chilean Rainstick, an instrument
used by the Diaguita Indians of Chile
when they were praying for rain
during the dry South American
summers. The rainstick dates back
to at least 1000 B. C. and was used
in parts of Chile, Africa and Brazil.
This long, flute- like instrument is
made from dried, thorny Normata
cactus and filled with pebbles. The
result is that the Rainstick makes a
sound just like falling rain - a sound
created by the many pebbles
bouncing off the thorns. Girls and
boys alike were delighted to hand
the rainstick to each other, as each
of them listened to what sounded
like pouring rain.
" Every week now, the kids see
me in the hall and say, ' What's the
instrument this week?'" Mrs. Lorch
said . " They are really enjoying
themselves."
Other instruments used in class
are drums, maracas, and cymbals.
No matter what the instrument may
be, Mrs. Lorch tells the children a
simple story about it and teaches
them about another part of the world
where children love music just as
much as they do.
When instrument time is over,
the children go back to the mat for
some relaxing, age- appropriate
Yoga. Mrs. Lorch teaches them
simple moves, positions and
breathing exercises that they can do
anywhere.
A friendly " Goodbye Song" tells
the children that the fun is done, at
least for now.
