As graduation approaches, we proudly recognize two members of the Class of 2026 who have chosen to serve our country by joining the military after graduation. They shared why they decided to join the military...

"I’ve decided to join the military because it’s been my dream since I was 7. I want to do something that will give me the discipline that I need and not only make me a better person but also provide a better future for my family." - Marilyn Alas

"Ever since I was a kid, I've always had a deep respect for law enforcement and the military. I always looked up to them and dreamed about being part of it. For a while I thought I’d become a mechanic like my dad, but then that dream came back to me. I realized I wanted to serve something bigger than myself, live life to the fullest, and be the kind of person that kids look up to just like I did. That's why I chose to join the Marine Corps." - Szymon Kacala

Please join us in congratulating these graduates as they begin this next chapter. We thank them for their service and wish them continued success in all that lies ahead.

Three students from Copiague Middle School — Mikaella Gonzales, Gabriella Agtuca and LeShae Maybank — were named middle school global finalists for their submission in the World of 8 Billion student video contest. Sponsored by Population Education, a program of the nonprofit Population Connection, the contest invites students in grades 6-12 to explore the challenges of population growth and propose sustainable solutions.
More than 3,275 videos were submitted this year from around the world. Participants chose one of three global topics — economics, energy or wetlands — and created a 1-minute video that included at least one idea for a sustainable solution to the challenge. The Copiague students created a video in the economics category called “Bridging the Divide of Wealth Inequality.”
Now in its 15th year, the World of 8 Billion contest has engaged more than 35,000 students from all 50 U.S. states and more than 100 countries. Each year, topics are updated to reflect current global trends and challenges. The 2026 judging panel included 57 experts from around the world.

Fifth grade students at Deauville Gardens East Elementary School engaged in a series of hands-on research projects designed to deepen their understanding of environmental responsibility and sustainability.
Students began their learning by creating interactive flip books that explored the history and significance of Earth Day, as well as the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling in everyday life. Building on this foundation, they participated in a research project examining how pencils are manufactured and the environmental impact associated with their production and use.
As part of the project, students researched specific pencil brands to better understand each company’s recycling practices and sustainability policies. This inquiry-based approach allowed fifth graders to make real-world connections and develop a greater awareness of how everyday items can affect the environment.
Using their findings, students designed and created awareness campaigns to educate others about the environmental impact of common school supplies and the importance of making sustainable choices. The project not only enhanced students’ research and critical thinking skills but also empowered them to become advocates for environmental stewardship.

Kindergartners at Great Neck Road Elementary School are growing their knowledge of science through an engaging unit focused on plants.
As part of the lesson, students learned about the different parts of a plant, including roots, stems, leaves and flowers, as well as the essential elements needed to survive. They also explored the life cycle of a plant, gaining an understanding of how seeds develop through various stages.
Bringing their learning to life, each student took on the role of a gardener by planting their own sunflower seeds. Using soil and water, kindergartners carefully potted their plants and will continue to observe and care for them over the coming weeks. This hands-on experience allows students to make real-world connections to their science lessons while developing responsibility and curiosity. As their plants grow, so too will their understanding of the natural world.

On June 8, Copiague School District hosted its first Crayons to Caps event, bringing together members of the Class of 2026 and the youngest members of the school community for a day filled with connection, reflection and celebration.
Graduating seniors were paired with kindergarten students for a special day of activities that celebrated the beginning and end of their school journeys. The pairs worked together through a variety of fun team-building activities, including parachute games, relay races, cup stacking and the chicken noodle game.
The event also allowed students to reflect on their growth and imagine the future. Kindergartners from the Class of 2038 created posters showcasing their big dreams and illustrated what they imagined they would look like as high school students. Seniors created their own posters reflecting on their kindergarten selves and the journey they have taken throughout their years in the district.
The celebration concluded with a special poster parade and walk, as seniors and kindergartners proudly shared their creations and celebrated the connection between the youngest and oldest students in the district. The day served as a meaningful reminder of the full circle of education, honoring the memories made, the milestones achieved and the dreams still ahead.

Going along with the motto “Racing to the Elementary Finish Line,” Copiague School District hosted a combined elementary field day at Copiague Middle School on June 2, bringing together fifth grade students from all four elementary schools for a day of fun, teamwork and connection.
The inaugural event had students come together before making the transition to middle school in September. Throughout the morning, fifth graders participated in a variety of games and activities designed to encourage collaboration, communication and school spirit.
Students enjoyed exercising, competing in friendly challenges and building new friendships with classmates they will soon join at the middle school. The event also helped them become familiar with one another and begin creating a sense of community as they prepare for the next chapter of their educational journey.
The districtwide field day celebrated Copiague students moving up to the middle school level, marking this important milestone in a fun and interactive way. While their time in elementary school is coming to an end, many new opportunities and experiences await them.
