Last night we attended the District Wide PTO Volleyball Tournament. It was so much fun! My daughter was in the Spirit Squad for Tangier Smith. They all looked so adorable with their royal blue shirts and pom-poms! Mrs. Markewitz is in charge of our Spirit Squad, which is why they are so enthusiastic and fun!
Hot dogs, pretzels and Gatorade made the event even more enjoyable. Everyone was snacking as they watched the teachers, administrators and PTO play volleyball with lively music in the background.
The Tournament was held in the William Floyd High School gymnasium. With Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Markewitz and all the other great players, we already suspected Tangier Smith would be winners. The excitement built as the Spirit Squad got louder. My son and his friends ran to the top of the bleachers to cheer Tangier Smith on (as older boys they felt too "cool" for the Spirit Squad but made just as much noise :).
We were proud when Tangier Smith won and proud of all the other schools, too. Everyone raised money for our District and we all had a great family time!

A Victorian Tea In Mastic Beach
I was completely charmed on Thursday evening when I attended a Victorian Tea at the Tangier Smith Elementary School. It was a fun, cultural experience that was a good time for all.
Tasty gourmet cookies and a variety of teas were served, including herbal tea and iced tea for the children. Students from the William Floyd High School orchestra played in the background, which was simply perfect. It was a pleasure to see teens devoting their evening to such a worthy event for children. The children made an easy craft which turned out adorable. It was a simple sachet with fabric and potpourri, which only took a few minutes and will add a pleasant scent to our drawers. There was even a raffle at the end.
My children and I really enjoyed this little event just a few days after Mother's Day. Just one of the many cultural events we get to appreciate in Mastic Beach!

Live Author/Illustrator Evening At Tangier Smith
Last night was just another reason why I love living in Mastic Beach. Tangier Smith Elementary School held its first Live Author/Illustrator Evening with 22 favorite local authors and illustrators. All of the other elementary schools were invited to attend and the turnout was terrific.
Because I am a writer, my children were really excited about this program. The whole family attended and the organized, artistic envirionment really impressed us. Books were available for purchase with the authors and illustrators on hand to sign them for the students.
My daughter was mesmerized by Mary McManus Burke, a lovely writer from Smithtown while my son was enthused to see his friend's grandfather, Frank DeWitt, who lives right here in Mastic Beach. With writers such as Joyce Zucker, Paul Rodriguez, Sheila & Letty Sustrin and Dr. Kathryn T. Hegeman, there were diverse selections for all the children.
Cultural programs such as this encourage our children to exceed all limitations and dream big for the future. Good stuff, Tangier Smith Elementary!
