Northeast Elementary School shares joyful energy with senior citizens
Pre-K and kindergarten classes from Northeast Elementary School in Amityville recently enjoyed a heartwarming visit to The Villas at Dominican Village, Independent and Assisted Living Center.
In celebration of Valentine’s Day, the students created handmade cards for each resident and sang “This Little Light of Mine,” sharing their bright smiles and joyful energy. As part of Northeast’s monthlong focus on social-emotional learning, students are exploring the character trait of caring, and this trip gave them a beautiful opportunity to practice it in a real and meaningful way. It was a sweet reminder of how even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference.
The district would like to thank all of Northeast’s wonderful students for representing Amityville with such kindness, and to the residents and staff of Dominican Village for welcoming them and giving our youngest learners this special opportunity. It truly was an amazing experience for everyone involved.
