The Massapequa Fine & Performing Arts department would like to announce the 2026 Massapequa Philharmonic Inside Out Informance. The event is scheduled for Sunday, March 15, 2026, in the Berner Middle School Cafeteria at 1:00 pm. Third grade students will soon have the opportunity to select an instrument to begin playing next fall. The Inside Out Informance by the Massapequa Philharmonic is a wonderful way for your child to begin to explore possible instrument choices.
The Inside Out Informance is an opportunity for third grade students to sit inside the orchestra with the musicians and to experience what it is like to be in the ensemble. Following the Inside Out Informance, students can participate in the Instrument Meet and Greet; a time to speak with teachers and students, see the instruments up close, and ask questions.
The full schedule is:
12:45 pm: Students Arrive
1:00 pm: Inside Out Informance
1:30 pm: Instrument Meet & Greet
Seating is limited to 115 third grade students and a parent escort. To sign up your child for this exciting program, visit https://forms.gle/u6Tr2tLrofPGW58t9 to access the registration form.
We look forward to welcoming you to the music performance program here in Massapequa.
Musically yours,
Vincent Green

Dear East Lake Parents and Guardians,
Over the next two weeks, students will participate in emergency drills as required by our Emergency Management Plan. These drills help familiarize children with safety procedures, similar to our regularly practiced fire drills.
While it is unfortunate that such preparation is necessary, we are confident that a strong response plan is in place. All exercises will be introduced and practiced by teachers in a calm, sensitive, and reassuring manner to ensure students feel safe and supported

Sincerely yours,
Thomas A. McKillop, III
