First Week of School!
By Tyler Albani

This past week was Long Island Baptist Academy’s first week of school. It was hard for all of us to get back into the routine of things, but we’re all excited to be back with all our friends. Well, this year in our school we have three seniors—Josh, Luke, and Silvia. Wow! That may not seem like a lot of senior, but for a school of thirty-five kids, it’s a big deal. Here’s a little note about our seniors: Josh and Luke have been coming to this school since kindergarten and Silvia since sixth grade. That’s all on the seniors for this post.
On September 10th, our school took trays of cookies to our neighborhood fire department as a remembrance for not only 9/11/01, but for all their sacrifice in helping to keep our community safe. Now, here are some events that will be occurring in the near future. First, later on this month our school will be going on our annual school field trip to Old Bethpage Village Fair. Second, the junior and senior high school students will be going up to Camp Shiloh, which is on Lake Hatch—upstate New York. I will devote time talking about this wonderful place on another post. Third and last for now is the Long Island Baptist Academy School Spirit Week. This is a week we all look forward to between the activities, special lunches, contests, prizes, and a whole lot more! That’s all for the first week of school, but not for the year! I will be faithful to keep you posted on everything and anything else.
