According to detectives, a 79 year old female was asleep at her residence on Glen Cove Avenue when she was awakened by the sound of footsteps in the home. As she entered the kitchen she observed two unknown male sub- jects wearing hooded sweatshirts. The victim screamed and the subjects fled the residence through the back door. Responding officers recovered a pocketbook and some power tools belonging to the victim outside the residence. Further investigation deter- mined entry was made through base- ment doors and proceeds included a wallet containing an undetermined amount of U.S. currency and a com- puter attachment. No injuries were re- ported and there is no further descrip- tion of the subjects.

At a luncheon celebrating the Fif- tieth Anniversary of the founding of the Nassau County Women's Division of The Salvation Army, all attending were touched by a wonderful gift of love. Helen D'Alessio presented The Salvation Army with gifts for children in need which she had made individually throughout the year at her home in Glen Head. These included twenty-four hand- knit animals each one unique and with a kind expression. There were also two hand-crocheted layette sets, two cheer- ful and warm blankets, slipper socks, six warm hats and four beautiful sweaters. All in attendance were moved by this kind example and the joy and warmth each item will bring. Helen truly carried out the goal of The Salvation Army, "Do- ing the most good".

First and second graders at Deasy El- ementary School have been studying the natural environments in and around Glen Cove, literally learning the lay of the land – and water – for that matter.
First graders are studying water and lo- cal marine life. They began their study with mollusks, collecting mud snails from Dosoris Pond and observing them in aquariums in their classrooms. They then returned to Pryibil Beach to comb the Long Island Sound-fronting shore- line, collecting the shells of other mol- lusks. Second graders are studying soil as a natural resource and a habitat for liv- ing things. They’ve been observing the “mini-beasts” in leaf litter, rotting logs, and Deasy’s vegetable garden. They are now gearing-up to welcome hordes of crickets into their classrooms in the hopes of studying their life cycle.
Both grades’ work will include further field trips and interviews with communi- ty experts, and is closely integrated with the non-fiction reading and writing stan- dards of the Common Core initiative.
Deasy School first-graders visited Pryibil Beach to collect the shells of mollusks.

This year Friends Academy will sponsor five different international travel and exchange programs with partner schools in Shanghai, Paris, Martinique, Normandy and El Salvador. The pro- grams include homestay, school visits, community service, arts and travel. Every year, the World Languages & Cul- tures Department coordinates homestay and exchange programs, which run on alternate years, with Americans hosting a given school group one year and trav- eling to that school the next. Typically, the homestays last for ten days to two weeks, but the global connections con- tinue through e-mail, Skype, Facebook, Edmodo, and snail mail. This year, two more international experiences have been added. As part of the newly launched Global Studies Scholars Program in the Upper School, students will travel to El Salvador dur- ing President’s Week to tackle global problem-solving. And in June of 2014, students from Friends and Portledge will travel to the beaches of Normandy to perform a tri-lingual international peace play to help celebrate and mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day. “Each exchange has its own varia- tions and emphases,” explained Polly Duke, Head of Friends Academy’s World Languages & Cultures Dept. “The Shanghai trip includes language classes in the morning at our partner school as well as afternoon cultural outings in tri-lingual theatrical performance that Friends Academy is now accepting guided by its Quaker heritage and the Shanghai and trips to nearby cities such celebrates and cultivates the importance applications for the 2014-15 school year principles of integrity, simplicity, pa- as Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Nanjing; the of peace.

The Global Studies Scholars Pro- gram is a new elective for Upper School students that strengthens and hones cru- cial 21st century global citizenship and leadership skills, including collaboration, empathy, interpersonal communication, written articulation, creative problem- solving and persuasive speaking against the backdrop of experiential learning. This new course includes a 10-day exchange and service trip to El Salvador with stays in Suchitoto and San Jose Vil- lanueva, where students will connect to the Suchitoto Art Center for Peace and will work on service projects through the Epilogos Organization in San Jose Vil- lanueva. In June, Friends Academy students will join high school students from Ger- many and France in a unique tri-lingual collaboration for peace. The internation- al ensemble will perform in a 50-minute
