This holiday season, the district-wide Culture Builds Character Committee (CBCC) launched a new initiative to foster kindness and provide positive role models for younger students. On Dec. 22, Mr. Poland and the East Rockaway High School Student Council visited Rhame Avenue Elementary to create holiday crafts with students during indoor recess. The event, supported by the PTA and the ERSD CBCC, gave elementary students the opportunity to learn from and connect with high school mentors while celebrating the season together.
