Now in its 29th year, the Long Island’s Best program challenges students in grades 9-12 to choose a work of art that is on display in the museum as inspiration for their own creative expression. Approximately 78 pieces of student-created artwork out of 455 entries from Long Island high school students were selected for inclusion in this year’s show.

This year, the Long Island’s Best exhibit will be available to view in-person at the Heckscher Museum from Sunday, April 6 through Sunday, May 25. The exhibit will also be available for online viewing beginning on April 5 by visiting the Heckscher Museum of Art website at https://www.heckscher.org.

To celebrate Black History Month, Northwest Elementary School Social Worker Ms. Lee invited local community members to introduce themselves and read a culturally diverse book.  

Suffolk County Legislator Jason Richberg and Marcus Duffin deputy commissioner of human services and special projects for the Town of Babylon enjoyed spending time with the students. Mr. Duffin read “I Promise” by LeBron James, a book filled with promises kids should recite to help them be good citizens, believe in themselves, and become the best they can be. 

Mr. Richberg read “Mariama: Different But the Same,” a children's book that explores themes of diversity, inclusion, and understanding. It tells the story of Mariama, a young girl who learns that while people may come from different backgrounds and cultures, they are more alike than they seem. The book emphasizes the importance of empathy, kindness, and acceptance. 

The students were excited and thanked Mr. Duffin and Mr. Richberg for their time.
