Fourth-grade students at Accompsett Elementary School honored their real-life heroes during Hero Day. Throughout May, students compiled their writings about a special person in their life who they admire. In June, the everyday heroes were invited into the respective classrooms where students read aloud their essays.

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Accompsett Elementary School gathered all the students outside for a photo opportunity in the shape of the number 50. Thanks to the help of the Smithtown High School West Robotics team, a drone was flown overhead to snap the picture while students sang their school song in unison.
