Choose a card from “The Giving Tree” and help make a child’s holiday dream come true!

In the spirit of the season, won’t you stop in and choose one card with a child’s name and buy that gift. This is your chance to be a Guardian Angel to a needy child. It may be one extra gift for you to buy, but it may be the only gift that child will receive this holiday season. Imagine the joy on that child’s face when he/ she opens it!!

During the second-grade lesson, which was taught by STEM teacher Jessica Cialeo, students learned that computers and electronic devices do not have a brain and cannot think for themselves. Therefore, people called computer scientists need to "write" directions for the devices so they can perform tasks. The children were then introduced to coding and given guided practice using Code.org and the iPad applications Kodable and Daisy the Dinosaur. The students thoroughly enjoyed using the apps to create block coding, which allowed them to move BB8, a Star Wars: The Force Awakens character on their iPad screens. Cialeo’s lesson was coordinated as part of Computer Science Education Week and the Hour of Code, which is a global movement that reaches tens of millions of students in more than 180 countries. Deasy Principal Ken Craft and Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction and Technology Dr. Michael Israel attended the lesson and assisted the children in their assignment.

Happy Holidays! To all our Glen Cove Community, I always love the holidays! It’s such a special time for families, friends and neighbors to celebrate the wonders of the season. It is an opportunity to worship, to give thanks, and to help those who are less fortunate. A time to share a meal, share a story, and stop to remember the importance of being together.

You, our citizens, are what make this city a wonderful place to live and work. I look forward to serving another year as your Glen Cove Supervising City Court Judge.
