Clear Stream Avenue School in Valley Stream District 30 was electric as the entire school recently gathered for the much-anticipated March Madness kickoff assembly.  

The gymnasium buzzed with excitement as students and staff embraced this year’s theme: “Get Healthy!” Dressed in their most comfortable activewear and sneakers, everyone was ready to launch into a month filled with wellness activities and positive habits. The assembly began with an energetic welcome from Clear Stream Avenue Principal Mr. John Singleton, who emphasized the importance of healthy eating and regular exercise. The goal was to prepare students mentally and physically for upcoming assessments by reinforcing the connection between physical fitness and increased brain activity. 

Students and teachers came together in an interactive workout session that featured cardio exercises to get hearts pumping, followed by a relaxing yoga cool-down. The energy in the gym was contagious, with laughter and cheers echoing throughout the space as everyone participated with enthusiasm. 

To make the month even more exciting, students were given the chance to win prizes by tracking their healthy habits. From staying active to making nutritious food choices, the challenge encouraged everyone to adopt a healthier lifestyle in a fun and engaging way.  

“March is all about embracing wellness, staying active, and setting the foundation for lifelong healthy habits,” Mr. Singleton said. “Let’s make this month one to remember.”
