🖤💛 West Hempstead Virtual Enterprise Students Shine at the Annual Youth Business Summit 💛🖤
Last week, @wh_secondary Virtual Enterprise students represented West Hempstead on a truly global stage, attending the annual Youth Business Summit at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
This flagship event, hosted by Virtual Enterprises International, brought together over 3,000 participants from around the world to celebrate a year's worth of innovation, creativity, strategic problem-solving, and perseverance. Our students rose to every moment.
Throughout the day, they engaged in meaningful networking experiences and proudly showcased their firms on the trade show floor alongside peers from across the United States and internationally — including representatives from the Netherlands, Germany, and Austria. This global dimension made the Summit a truly unique experience, offering our students a broader business perspective and the opportunity to forge new professional connections and partnerships that extend well beyond our community.
WHe are incredibly proud of the dedication and hard work our students have demonstrated throughout this program. 🖤💛
Please stay tuned — WHe are eagerly awaiting the results of the Booth Competition and will share updates as soon as they become available. Results from several earlier competitions submitted this year are also pending, as Virtual Enterprises has experienced some delays in reporting. WHe look forward to celebrating our students' achievements in full once all results are in!

💻 WHe HACK... and Attack: @WHGWashington Hackathon Teams Spring Into Action with KidOYO 🖤🏅
West Hempstead UFSD is proud to announce that Hackathon season is officially underway at George Washington Middle School, and our students are bringing everything they've got.
In partnership with KidOYO — a leading platform dedicated to empowering young coders and innovators — the @WHGWashington Hackathon teams are channeling their critical thinking, creativity, and passion for coding into an extraordinary Spring competition experience. Students worked side by side, solving real challenges in real time, and representing West Hempstead with the pride and determination that defines our district.

At West Hempstead UFSD, WHe believe that when students are given the opportunity to lead with their minds, there is no limit to what they can build. Our Hackathon Rams are living proof.
Congratulations to every student, coach, and family member who made this moment possible. WHe Rise Together — one line of code at a time.

🌱 @CornwellAveES Recycling Club & Student Council: Almost to 500 Pounds — and Inspiring WHole Community Along the Way 🖤🏅
West Hempstead UFSD is proud to spotlight the incredible work happening at @CornwellAveES, where student leadership is turning recycled materials into real, lasting change.
The school's Recycling Club and Student Council are on the verge of a remarkable milestone — nearly 500 pounds of collected materials destined for their Buddy Bench project. This student-driven initiative transforms recyclables into a symbol of belonging, kindness, and environmental responsibility right in their own schoolyard.
To honor the contributions of every student, each class is receiving seed bookmarks — a meaningful token that reflects the spirit of growth these young leaders embody every day.
This past Friday, @CornwellAveES hosted a vibrant Recycling Day Event that brought the entire school community together — parents, students, and staff — for an afternoon of hands-on building, creativity, and collaboration. Highlights included a visit from a real recycling truck, giving students an exciting, real-world connection to their environmental efforts.

Critical Thinking Takes Center Stage at George Washington School
It was an exceptional week at @WHGWashington, where students demonstrated just how capable and curious they truly are. From powerful classroom discussions on World War II and the Holocaust to navigating the complexities of pre-algebra, students showed up ready to think deeply and engage meaningfully with challenging material.
The learning didn't stop there. Students also took their math skills to the next level by crafting their own problems and exploring their creative sides, reminding us all of the importance of nurturing the whole child.
From history to mathematics to the arts, George Washington students are growing into exactly the kind of well-rounded, critical thinkers our community deserves. It is a true testament to the outstanding educators who pour their hearts into this work each and every day.
