The Hawks NestPOB Physical Education,Health, Athletics and RecreationPOBVolume 5 Issue 23/10/2018Bowling—County ChampionsThe Boys’ Varsity Bowling team had an incredibly memorable season,in which they won the Nassau County team-bowling tournament inFebruary and represented Nassau County at the state tournament inSyracuse on March 11th. The teams never-say-die attitude andperseverance served them well this year. All 12 members of the teamhave put together the season of a lifetime, which they will never forget.Our school’s athletic records will show that this group of bowlersachieved a level of bowling excellence that has not been seen here since1996. It’s been 22 years since the boys bowling team from Plainview hasgone to the state tournament representing Nassau County.The county title was preceded by a successful regular season where the varsity team was10-2 in matches overall and finished in second place in Conference 3, losing to Massapequaby 1 point in the final season standings. The last match of the season against Massapequa waswhen our team jelled and rallied to beat Massapequa head to head, 2 games to 1. In spite oflosing the first game of the match, the boys came back to win games 2 and 3 and proved tothemselves that they were capable of anything they put their minds to achieving. They provedthat again to the entire county 3 weeks later.This year, senior co-captains Bryan Hirsch and Max Heller led our team to victory withquiet confidence. Senior Phillip Jankowitz was reliable all season and carried us to victory inthe county tournament. Philip also rolled a perfect 300 game back in November. Our twoother seniors, Nick DeChiaro -who was our leadoff bowler and David Savarino who rolled hisown personal high game 238 during match play, will all be missed and difficult to replace nextyear. Sophomore, Sal Testa, and Junior, Stanley Kim, will be the future leaders of our teamover the next several years. Bryan, Philip, and Sal all finished the 36 game regular season withan average over 200 and are considered All County Bowlers, and Nick DeChiaro finished theseason above 190 and received All League Honors. Congratulations to the entire team.Gymnastics-One for the record BooksThis year was one for the record books for the Hawks Gymnasticsteam.Inside this issue:POB Athletic Hall ofFame2Alumni Update3Stratford Road 12thAnnual Circus4JJP Jump Rope Forheart5Post Season AwardsGirls’ and Boys’ Indoor 8-9Track RecordsGirls’ and Boys’Swimming Records3– All-AmericanAt the Nassau County Team Championship the Hawks continued to flex their muscles capturing the Nassau County Championship!

Themost certain way tosucceed is always to tryjust one more time.”Thomas A. EdisonOn March 9, 2018, Stratford Road ElementarySchool held its 12th annual Fourth GradeCircus. For the past 12 years the NationalCircus Project (NCP) has been conductingworkshops with our younger students and astudent show with our 4th graders. Students atStratford Road eagerly await circus week atschool. The circus week brings fun andexcitement for all the students at StratfordRoad. The week consists of all grades 1-3receiving a workshop during their PhysicalEducation class, while the fourth grade studentscome to the gym throughout the week several times to work on their skills and acts. The actschange from year-to-year and this year was no different. This year’s show featured Stilts,Diablo, Devil sticks, Balancers, Clowns, Wire Walkers, Jugglers and Plate Spinners. Makingthe show different every year keeps the excitement and anticipation on high for the youngerstudents looking forward to their turn to put on their show. The start of the program is anassembly show, which is performed by the professionals to demonstrate to the students all thedifferent activities they will be working on during the week. Students and staff look forward tothe introductory assembly show and the workshops during circus week. Students who are shyor may have some challenges thrive in this program as much as those who are more athletic.Most of the fourth grade students come in 45 minutes early before school opens to practicetheir skills and routines. This program helps students come out of their shells and realize theirfull potential. It’s an amazing self-esteem builder. Watching students progress from not evenbeing able to get on a pair of stilts, to walking over another student while blindfolded is trulyincredible. When you have that kind of success, that kind of enthusiasm and excitement, itmakes me smile and remember this is why I love being a Physical Education Teacher. This is alifetime of memories my students are making. This program would not be possible without thesupport from the entire staff at Stratford Road and the PTA. Thank you to all of them for making this week so amazing for our students. This year’s show was a huge successes, and I lookforward to many more shows in the future.
