Graduation 2013

We are so proud of our graduating students and look forward to their day to shine at our graduation ceremony!  Our families will join us for songs, diplomas and of course, a celebration in the classrooms.  Because of the number of students graduating, we will host ceremonies on different days. Your child's ceremony will either take place on Wednesday, June 19th, or Thursday, June 20th.  Look in the backpack for further information. 

NIS Golf Tournament

Our bigest fundraising event of the year will take place on June 10th at the Port Jefferson County Club.  In attendance will be Kenny Schroy, who is Vice Chairman of the Marty Lyons Foundation. Kenny is a former memmber of the New York Jet football team. Kenny works tirelessly on behalf of many programs and charities making a difference in the lives of children.  We are honored to have him at our Tournament, and we look forward to a day of great golf, a delicious dinner, and good companionship. 

Field Day 2013

Beanbags, balloons, squirt bottles, and ball toss are big hits with the students as they participate in Field Day, June 5-7.   Along with their parents, and guided by our adaptive physical education teacher, each class has their turn taking part in these special activities.  All are having lots of fun, while practicing their gross and fine motor skills. 

A Night to Remember

The evening of June 4 found our upcoming graduates and their families celebrating at the biggest party of the year, the NIS Prom.  Held at the Mediterranean Manor in Patchogue, our students put on their dressiest clothes and they and their parents danced the night away.  A DJ kept the music going, and an old time photo booth took images that everyone enjoyed!  A delicious dinner and dessert filled out the gala affair.  So many parents expressed their delight at seeing their children having such a good time with each other at an affair expressly designed for them.  Many thanks to our volunteers who made all this possible!
