Lynbrook School District plans STEAM Night and summer capital projects updates

The Lynbrook Public Schools Board of Education meeting on April 23, 2025, highlighted several key initiatives aimed at enhancing educational opportunities and community engagement. One of the most notable announcements was the upcoming annual STEAM Night, scheduled for May 12 at Lynbrook High School. This event, which has traditionally focused on encouraging female participation in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), will now welcome all students in grades 4 to 8. Attendees will have the chance to explore various STEAM programs, meet current high school students, and learn about extracurricular activities available at the school.

In addition to promoting STEAM education, the board discussed significant capital projects set to commence this summer. Dr. Lynch reported that door projects at West End and Marion Street schools are on track, alongside the replacement of the elevator cab at Lynbrook High School. The board has also received approval for restroom renovations at both the high school and Atlantic Avenue Building, with bidding expected to open in May. These improvements are part of ongoing efforts to enhance school facilities and ensure a safe and welcoming environment for students.

The meeting also featured a public comment segment where Jeff Greenfield, chairman of the Lynbrook Mayor's Golf Outing, announced that Dr. Lynch would be honored at the event on August 11. The golf outing supports the Lynbrook Community Chest and local veterans' organizations, emphasizing the importance of community involvement and support for local initiatives.

Lastly, the board expressed condolences for the passing of William Groom, a former health teacher who dedicated 32 years to the Lynbrook School District. The board's resolution acknowledged his contributions and the lasting impact he had on the community.

As Lynbrook Public Schools moves forward with these initiatives, the focus remains on fostering educational growth and community spirit, ensuring that all students have access to enriching experiences and well-maintained facilities.
