One of the most powerful predictors of student success isn't test scores or technology—it's reading proficiency. When students become confident readers, they don't just improve in English class; they unlock potential across every subject and every aspect of life.
The beautiful thing about reading? It's never too late to start building this habit.
Here's your family challenge this week: Carve out 20 minutes of distraction-free reading time. Put the devices away, turn off the TV, and dive into a book together. Whether you're reading aloud to younger children or reading side-by-side with teens, you're modeling something invaluable.
You might be surprised by the conversations that follow and the connection that deepens.
"There is no such thing as a child who hates to read; there are only children who have not found the right book." - Frank Serafini
Let's help our children find their right book—and watch them soar.

The weather outside may be dreary this Thursday, but the halls of George Washington School are filled with sunshine, smiles, and student success!
Our learners arrived ready for another exciting day of learning and growth, with tomorrow's pumpkin contest adding an extra spark of anticipation and creativity to the air. 🎃
Student Artwork Spotlight:
We're thrilled to share the exceptional 3D room projects created by our 4th grade artists! Inspired by the work of artist Pepon Osorio, these stunning pieces showcase our students' understanding of perspective, spatial design, and creative expression. The attention to detail and imaginative elements in each project are truly impressive.
These moments capture the heart of what we do in West Hempstead UFSD – creating environments where students thrive, discover their talents, and find joy in the learning process.
Thank you to our staff and supportive families for making every day at GW special!

This week at West Hempstead Secondary has been nothing short of extraordinary!
Our hallways buzzed with energy as students engaged in learning experiences that challenged them to think critically, collaborate meaningfully, and explore their potential.
Highlights from the week:
• AP Statistics brought data to life with a creative bungee jump experiment featuring Barbie and Ken—proving that statistics can be both rigorous and fun!
• Physics classes dove deep into center of mass concepts through hands-on investigations that connected classroom theory to real-world applications.
• Senior students are in the midst of the college essay writing process, working diligently to craft authentic narratives that showcase their unique voices and experiences.
• Debate activities pushed students to refine their argumentation skills and engage in thoughtful intellectual discourse.
These diverse learning opportunities reflect the heart of our educational mission: to create environments where every student can explore, discover, and excel. Our dedicated faculty continues to design innovative lessons that meet students where they are and inspire them to reach new heights.
As we close out another incredible week, we're reminded that education is a partnership—between teachers and students, between school and community, and between today's learning and tomorrow's possibilities.
Here's to our students who show up ready to learn, our staff who create magic every day, and our community that supports it all.
