Making waves toward third grade at Northwest Elementary School

Excitement filled the air at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville on June 17 as moving-up students celebrated their upcoming transition to third grade during the school’s Onward to 3rd Grade Day.
Dressed in T-shirts featuring the district’s new Amityville Tide logo, students enjoyed a day filled with fun activities and opportunities to connect with classmates as they prepared for their next educational milestone. Throughout the day, students participated in a variety of inflatable sports activities in the school gymnasium, including football, basketball and baseball-themed games. Others spent time outdoors enjoying the playground, while some chose to relax with a good book and take part in quiet reading activities. The special event provided students with an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments, build excitement for the future and reflect on their elementary school experiences before their upcoming moving-up ceremony.
Onward to 3rd Grade Day served as a memorable way to mark the end of the school year while helping students feel confident and prepared as they take the next step in their academic journey.
