As has become a tradition at Setauket Elementary School, students in Christine Beck’s class are celebrating their academic successes this year with a “Last 20 Days of School” countdown. 

Each day, the class pops a balloon that hangs from the classroom ceiling to discover a new way to celebrate. The message in that balloon provides information about what the focus will be for the following day. To date, the activities have included different theme days – such as crazy hat day – as well as activities tied to the school’s character education program.
