** PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCMENT**

The Mattituck Fire District has partnered with ROTH ID TAGS for all residents within our fire district. The ROTH ID TAG identification system is an information tag that can be affixed to a child’s car seat. In the event of an emergency, the tag pulls from the car seat and becomes an emergency identification wristband.

If you have a child or a grandchild in a car seat we urge you to reach out to a Chief or member of the Mattituck Fire Department or stop by our Fire District office M-F between 7a-3p. Further information will be provided by the link to ROTH ID TAGS down below.

We are grateful for our District to jump aboard with this product and allow us to have the honor of handing these out to whom ever would like them for their child.

Nurturing Leadership:
Skills for Your Child to Achieve Future Successes.

Starting a young school-aged child on a path to becoming a leader before hitting kindergarten might sound nearly impossible. Still, the research's constant theme (along with the anecdotal evidence in real-life leader stories) makes the need for early leadership obvious. Learning to lead when you’re younger helps lead to when you’re older, and parents set the tone for the first stage of early development.

By providing leadership development early in children’s lives, we support their ability to own their space with self-assurance, to problem-solve, communicate, and relate to others, to build prosocial habits, and to show good sense and well-reasoned judgment. A leader taps into this inner goodness, which all children share. Children who lead with confidence are more likely to meet challenges head-on, whether those challenges come from a teacher or their close friends. They’re also likely to flourish and be more readily embraced by peers, communities, and organizations they join because of the central leadership qualities of good character.

Such as teaching responsibility as children enter kindergarten through group activities that provide students with opportunities to lead, deciding (within some reasonable limits) larger and more minor issues so kids can learn how to make decisions, and assigning small tasks such as homework or jobs around the home so that they develop the ability to follow through on commitments. Modeling some of the traits that others look for in leaders, such as using problem-solving and critical-thinking skills to navigate life together, can be essential steps for parents to take. Praising for the effort rather than the outcome of something models the ‘growth mindset’ children need if they are to later take initiative and risk failing at times.

Teaching your child leadership is an investment in the long run; children who grow up with strong leadership skills are more likely to be academically and socially successful. They are often more responsible and ethically more assertive. They are likely to succeed in their jobs and often have strong personal networking skills and communication strategies because of their strong character. Above all else, we cannot predict, but more likely, they’ll carry on inspiring those around them when they’re grown and raise a child of their own.

To conclude, it is essential that we start to create leaders when they are young, as every child has the potential to be a good leader. In creating a leadership platform for any child from a tender age, the parent gifts his child with a stern foundation of life, confidence, and a good outlook on life, which will enable him or her to take on challenges that are put forth by life, and to achieve their desired accomplishments in life.

"Why follow when you can lead!"

Examples of ways to create young leaders through positive parenting/teaching!

1. Encourage teamwork and cooperation through group activities.
2. Allow kids to make decisions and take on responsibilities, whether at home or in school.
3. Find mentorship or guidance programs for older students or adults. (Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Scouting...)
4. Teach communication and public speaking skills.
5. Foster a sense of empathy and the importance of helping others. (So important!)
6. Offer leadership roles in classroom tasks, at home, or on projects.
7. Recognize and celebrate each child's unique strengths and qualities.
8. Encourage creativity and innovation in problem-solving.

2024-2025 Back-to-School Trends

New York high schoolers are getting ready for another school year, for the year 2024-2025; a year different than the previous. The students' back-to-school fashion is going to be hype. This surely is happening; a huge change in fashion will happen this year. New trends would emerge in high schoolers, and this would mark every high schooler's life and depart from the past; this year, technology would catch up to their lives, social media would make its way into their life, and clothes with sustainability are very fast approaching to kids ' lives. Aside from that, every year, there would be high schooler trends, which would be high in fashion, and that's every year but with a twist of imagination being added to it.
In recent years, the rapid development of technology has had a big influence on New York high schools. Nowadays, the number of New York high schools, which can equip all kinds of digital tools including laptops, tablets, smartphones, and many more, is speedily increasing. Similarly, students themselves can make use of interactive online platforms and virtual classrooms to enhance their study in a relatively lower time-consumption and more convenient way. Moreover, some advanced artificial intelligence technologies are employed in the teaching sector, such as automatic grading of essays and solving assignments. Above that, students can join some extracurricular social activity groups and teams like coding clubs, robotics teams, and even digital arts schools.
These include Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat, and often it actually comes from peer pressure (‘She says this app/clothing item is so last year’). YouTube videos, TikTok dances or trends, influencer reviews on what the ‘new best thing is’ and the Carousels that advertise ‘the hottest styles’ and ‘fit checks’ are all common sources of trends and the ways in which my high schoolers and middle schoolers are using these applications surrounds both their hunt for validation and attention, as well as their search for identity (keeping connected to the other 70 percent of the youth who are also using their trends).
There is an additional factor to sustainability, which is that it has become a big trend in New York’s high schools: students are becoming more aware and more willing to buy sustainable and ethical fashion items such as thrift-store shopping, upcycling, and wearing eco-label brands. What started as a trendy movement, spreading through school campaigns and sustainability clubs discussing the proper use of consumers’ ecological footprint and how to recycle fashion goods, eventually became a lifestyle and a mainstream culture in high schools.
The school life in 2024-2025 will inject some old tastes together with it. Extremely during 2021, the new fashion is moving back to the Y2K modes. Norms such as blanquette vests, square pocket pants, and non-conventional hairstyles will still be actively applied in the school. In addition, the athleisure trend remains blossoming, as more and more people enjoy wearing sports clothing daily. People breathe in more daily comfort. Its clothing can provide easiness and comfort. Some customization manners can also be in action, such as dry patches, personalized hand-sewing embroidery, and even cool prints. This will allow students to maximally unleash their creativity at school. Furthermore, the trend of gender-neutral fashion will become more remarkable. The development of the fashion industry will strongly support them and create room for each person to express themselves to the fullest extent.
From a Plains Indian house dress code to a changeable backpack, New York high schools reflect their students’ dynamic interaction of technological, social media and green thinking that influences their daily urban existence. Shopping for the new school year is a reflection of students’ lives and aspirations. Dress codes are expanding and changing to support growing diversity, but so is school-related product development.
