On July 16, students from East Rockaway School District’s Extended School Year (ESY) program at Rhame Avenue School experienced the thrill of surfing at a special clinic hosted by the non-profit organization Surfer’s Way in Long Beach. The young surfers, from kindergarten through second grade, braved the waves in tandem with experienced adult surfers, showcasing remarkable courage and excitement. Their triumphant smiles as they emerged from the water radiated with confidence and pride in their accomplishment.

Surfer’s Way, a Long Beach-based non-profit, is dedicated to providing children with special needs the opportunity to enjoy the exhilaration and freedom of surfing. They offer free summer clinics at Riverside Beach, bringing joy and adventure to many young lives.

Ms. Alexis Freudenberg, a teacher with the ESY program, shared her enthusiasm: “This was our first time participating in a Surfer’s Way clinic, and we will definitely be back.” Following their surfing adventure, the students continued their beach day with fun in the sand and pizza generously provided by Surfer’s Way.

As a highlight of their studies in business and economics within the social studies curriculum, fifth-grade students at Rhame Avenue and Centre Avenue Schools in East Rockaway recently hosted Entrepreneur Day.

For months, these dedicated students have been diligently preparing for this event. Each student designed and created an original product, developing a comprehensive business plan to market and sell their creations. This interdisciplinary project encompassed various skill areas, including creating business cards, composing advertising jingles, and designing logos, slogans, and websites for their products. In addition, the students manufactured their products and prepared to sell them.

On June 11th and 12th, parents and community members were invited to explore each student's store and purchase products using a QR code scanned with their cell phones.

Entrepreneur Day was a resounding success, providing an enjoyable and invaluable real-world experience for our students.
