This week we welcome back the members of our High School Marching Band, Kickline and Vocal Ensemble from their trip to Orlando Florida. Over 150 students and faculty attended four days of workshops and performances at Disney World this past weekend with our Marching Band and Kickline performing in the Light Parade at Magic Kingdom. We will be posting pictures and video of the performances soon. We are so proud of our students as they represented Harborfields in such high regard and earned the praise of all who interacted with them and those who witnessed their performances. We also owe a debt of gratitude to our faculty chaperones who helped make this trip possible along with Ms. Scilla who served as the primary coordinator of all aspects of this complex endeavor.
All-State Honors: Congratulations to HF senior, Patrick Godfrey, who earned All-State First Team Honors by the NY Sportswriters Association. This is the second prestigious recognition for Patrick who recently earned All-Long Island First Team status by Newsday.
Cheerleading Wins Again: The Harborfields High School Power 4 varsity cheerleading stunt group took first place at the LICCA cheerleading competition held at West Islip High School on Sunday January 11th. Alexis Cordista, Ana Gallegos, Olivia Hinrichsen and Chloe Lacey held the stunt for 2 minutes and 32 seconds and qualified for the LICCA Cheerleading Championship Power 4 Finals. They will look to beat their 2nd place finish and time of 2 minutes and 54 seconds that they achieved last year at finals on February 1st.
Variety Show: Mark your calendars for our annual PTA Variety Show scheduled for Friday and Saturday, January 30th & 31st, in our high school auditorium. Both shows begin promptly at 7:30pm. Tickets are available at the door and all proceeds go toward annual PTA scholarships for our students. This year’s show promises to be packed with outstanding performances by students and staff. Don’t miss this amazing event!
