Since September, Park Avenue Memorial Elementary School in Amityville has welcomed 64 new students.  

Guidance counselor Ms. Kim Balducci met with all the new students during their lunch periods, which provided an opportunity for students to connect with other new entrants and form friendships. It was an excellent way to support their transition to Park Avenue. Students shared what they enjoy the most about their new school, discussed their favorite special classes, talked about who their new friends are, and identified a trusted adult within the school.
