Parkway students deck the doors

Each class in East Meadow School District’s Parkway Elementary School took part in the tradition of transforming their classroom doors into a winter theme for the annual, “Decorate the Door” event.

Students in grades Kindergarten through fifth-grade as well as the school’s other offices and departments embellished their doors to reflect a holiday and winter theme. Students were encouraged to share ideas with their teachers about ways to create a clever, visually appealing, imaginative and creative door. Part of the task was to also include Parkway school spirit and/or paraphernalia.

On Dec. 19, district administrators were welcomed to take a tour of the school to view the hard work of the participants. Doors included holiday characters, wrapping paper, holiday lights and music.

“Thank you to the hard work of our teachers and staff for giving our school a feeling of a winter wonderland and to the students for their unique and creative ideas,” said Principal Jamie Mack.
