On Oct. 28, 18 students in Valley Stream District 30 were sworn into the Global Leaders of Tomorrow Advisory Council during the board of education business meeting at Shaw Avenue Elementary School.

They promised to unlock their potential to become a Global Leader of Tomorrow, activate their self-determination and advocacy for themselves and others, become confident and courageous human beings, and navigate multiple pathways for future success.

The Global Leaders of Tomorrow Advisory Council will meet regularly with Superintendent of Schools Dr. Roxanne Garcia-France to discuss how they can accomplish their goals and encourage other students in their respective schools to help in their efforts. This year, the advisory council will focus on the United Nations’ goal of wellness with the question, “What does wellness mean to you?”

“I am so excited because they help me to be a better leader,” Dr. Garcia-France said. “This is an opportunity for my Global Leaders of Tomorrow to get that experience, to know that it’s a great honor to serve not only your school, but your community. The real payment is when you serve and do good for others. That’s what it’s all about.”

The district commends this year’s council members on this amazing achievement.

On Oct. 1, the Nassau County Police Department visited students at Shaw Avenue Elementary School in Valley Stream for their toy drive. 

The NCPD, led by Commissioner Patrick Ryder, unloaded a truck full of toys for students to choose from. They also held a fun, interactive presentation in which they showcased their armored vehicles, police horses, K-9 unit and an SUV. Students learned about police officers and their day-to-day duties and they got a hands-on experience about some of the NCPD’s equipment. Additionally, students shared thank-you cards and posters with the police department to show gratitude for their local officers. 

Valley Stream School District 30 thanks the Nassau County Police Department for taking time to educate Shaw Avenue’s students on their daily tasks and responsibilities.
