The foundation for character building and success starts at home. The schools and role models that impact your child’s life assist in reinforcing the aspirations that you have for your child’s development and future.
Karatatot, which is a unique program offered by Charles Water Karate & Fitness, located at 122 Hillside Avenue in Williston Park, is a combination of exercise and karate in a format specifically designed for children ages 4½ and up. In a fun filled and nurturing setting your children learn concentration, discipline, respect, as well as an understanding of self defense at his or her own level.
The results are improved strength, coordination, and flexibility and the self-confidence and that we all want for our children. These children are learning child safety and stranger training. They are becoming better students at school and better listeners at home.
Congratulations to all the Karatatot’s who received their coordination tip:
From Mineola: Michael Marketti.
From Albertson: William Massasoit, Matthew McCarthy.
From Franklin Square: Nicholas Stavola.
From New Hyde Park: Ethan Lei, Timothy Lei, Luke Jacob.
From Garden City: Paxton Honerkamp.
From Williston Park: Angel Mendez, Kishan Shanmugananthan.

Night on the Town began about eight years ago, when the Church of St. Aidan in Williston Park was looking to raise money. Mineola resident Harry Zapiti stepped in.
He brought the idea to St. Aidan’s board. All Zapiti wanted was the support.

The future is green and Wheatley School student Graham Turk is making it a point to remind you, one less plastic bottle at a time.
Turk’s environment-friendly initiative, the ReFill Project, which started in 2011 at the Wheatley School, seeks to reduce the use of disposable plastic water bottles in schools. Last year, the East Williston resident headed the installation of two water refill stations in the Old Westbury school’s halls.
