Welcome to Wading River's Home on the Web. This year offers our students a historic and wonderful adventure, filled with rich learning experiences. There is so much to highlight, from learning about how caterpillars transform into butterflies to making new discoveries every day by unlocking the mysteries of reading, mathematical reasoning, and scientific exploration; our youngsters grow so much. All the while, they will write and publish stories, learning how to articulate and expand their thoughts, ideas, and insights with the world.

I appreciate all the time, effort and sharing the teachers, parents, community and students have given to make Wading River such a warm place to learn. A special thank you to our PTA for their generosity in the many ways they volunteer their time and talents for our students.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the teaching and learning at Wading River School. I wish you and your family a year filled with new experiences, family, friends, and learning opportunities that will be used as a springboard for success throughout your child's lifetime.

For those stopping by for a virtual visit of our school, if you have any questions or wish to have an in-person tour arranged, feel free to contact me at your convenience so you may see firsthand some of the exemplary work our students, teachers and staff engage in each day.

Sincerely,
Louis P. Parrinello
Principal

Cross-Grade Collaboration

Students in Shoreham-Wading River High School’s Long Island Sustainability class and science teacher Mr. Kevin Nohejl visited Wading River School recently to share their knowledge on hydroponics with fifth grade students.

Paul Ganci and Karla Roberts’ students welcomed Michael Clemente, Kaylee Colantropo, Jake Heins, Robert Portelli, Noah Ricciardi, Cole Wetzel and Jarrell Winston to their classrooms where they had pre-grown seedlings of cucumbers, lettuce, peas, spinach and tomatoes ready to place in the classroom vertical grow towers.

The older students highlighted some of the differences between hydroponics and traditional farming and important criteria between the two including efficiency and yield, environmental impact, seasonal dependency, and water and resource usage. The younger students then helped to take their seedlings and transplant them into the grow towers.

The cross-grade collaboration was an opportunity for students to develop literacy, social skills and confidence and to highlight the high school course that teaches students about sustainable practices, local farming heritage and career paths in agriculture.
