Change of Date for Pumpkin Patch

With the warnings of a strong storm hitting our area next week, we are changing the date of the Pumpkin Patch to November 6th.  Look for more information in your child's backpack, and stay dry!

Our First NIS Sibshop!

Sibshops are a celebration of the many contributions made by brothers and sisters of people with developmental needs.  Sibshops is a national program that acknowledges that being the sibling of a person with special needs is sometimes a good thing, sometimes a not-so-good thing, and sometimes somewhere in between.
While Sibshops are not therapy, they are often therapeutic for the children who attend.  Through fun, active games, and discussion activities, siblings are able to connect and share with other brothers and sisters who are in similar situations.
Our program is designed for brothers and sisters ages 6-10 of children with any type of disability.
NIS Sibshop will be held Saturday, December 1, 2012, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm.
For more information or registration please contact Betsy Kaplan or Kristen Moran at 631-924-5583.

Pumpkin Patch!

This month our students have explored farm and harvest themes. Our school has been filled with the smell of apple pies and pumpkin muffins! We are hoping all our parents can join us at the Pumpkin Patch and Petting Zoo which is our Special Event for October.  The event will be held on October 30 in our playground area.  Look in your child's backpack for further information and schedule.
