In January, Marion G. Vedder Elementary School students and their families were
encouraged to participate in several fun activities, as well as some friendly competitions, all
from the comfort of their own homes.
Students, led virtually by North Babylon High School varsity football coach Jim
Mango, were able to experience the school’s annual “Family Game Night” despite the global
pandemic. Students and their opponents used ordinary household items like disposable
cups, dice, socks and even their own bodies to test their athletic abilities, spend quality
time with their families and connect with their school community.
The best participation went to Marion G. Vedder second graders, who, as a
reward, earned an ice cream party from the school cafeteria.
