The Mineola School District's recent activities were highlighted during a government meeting, showcasing a vibrant mix of student engagement and community initiatives. On November 15, the drama club attended the Stage the Change conference at LIU Post, where they participated in workshops and heard from an Emmy award-winning speaker about making a community impact through performances.

In a spirited display of school spirit, the senior class hosted a sports night for younger students, engaging them in dodgeball, volleyball, and soccer, all while raising funds for their class. Meanwhile, Miss Carlson and eight research students embarked on an educational trip to Seoul, South Korea, where they are presenting their research on reversing ocean acidification and experiencing local culture, including visits to high schools and Korean barbecue.

This weekend, the high school will present its fall drama production, "Clue on Stage," with performances scheduled for Friday and Saturday. Tickets are available online and at the door, encouraging community support for the fine arts department.

Additionally, the student organization has partnered with the environmental club for a food drive and recycling initiative, urging donations of nonperishable food and recyclable materials. The organization is also launching a game day shirt initiative to foster school pride, with proceeds going towards senior scholarships and Mineola gear giveaways.

In discussions about the New York State Education Department's Regionalization Plan, board members emphasized the importance of voluntary cooperation among districts, asserting that any collaboration should be mutually beneficial and focused on student needs. The meeting concluded with a call for continued community support and engagement in school activities.
