Congratulations to the following students who received various business achievement awards this past June.

As of September 23rd, students in College Money and Investments and the Stock Market Club have the opportunity to participate in the Stock Market Game challenge. The SIFMA (Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association) Foundation's acclaimed Stock Market Game program is an online simulation of the global capital markets that engages students of all ages in the world of economics, investing and personal finance, with a goal of preparing students for a financially independent future.

On October 1st, Mr. Virgilio had the opportunity to attend the First Annual Long Island Workforce Development Summit. Workforce development is a critical component to building a strong, sustainable labor supply that can meet the needs of businesses and industries in this region. The main objective of this event was to "educate the educators" on the multiple career opportunities available on Long Island within the trades and manufacturing industries. There is potential for well-paying careers that allow our students to work and live on Long Island.

All teachers in our department are involved in extracurricular activities at Hewlett High School. The activities include:

Chess Club and Class of 2028 co-advisor - Mr. Tarpey

Stock Market Club - Mr. Pittelli

Computer Science Honor Society - Mrs. Frauenberg

DECA - Mrs. Henck/Mrs. Hanlon

Business & Marketing Honor Society - Mrs. Henck
