  • Island Park Students Celebrate Patriot Day

    Francis X. Hegarty Elementary students and staff celebrated Patriot Day on the morning of Sept. 11. Students gathered for a special tribute honoring local heroes on the front lawn around the school’s flagpole.

    Under the direction of Principal Adam Frankel, the program started with the Pledge of Allegiance and included a tribute recognizing everyday heroes. Principal Frankel encouraged students to think about how they can be a hero by performing acts of service and good deeds within our families and school community. Poems about heroes were shared by students and the program concluded with everyone singing, “God Bless America.”

    The patriotic feeling continued as students placed flags on the walkway leading to the entrance of the building.
