Tom Thumb Senior Wearing His Mask
Owen, Tom Thumb Senior, Wearing his Mask
Mrs. Brophy has been wearing her mask when she leaves home and is next to people. All our Tom Thumb Teachers and Assistant Teachers wear their mask, too.
Don’t Forget to:
- Stay 6 feet away, from people
- Wear your mask, when you’re next to people
- Wash your hands and sing the “Wash Your Hands” Song.
Now, we have Owen showing all his friends; he is wearing his mask too.
Wear your mask and become a member of our Tom Thumb Wear Your Mask Club
Owen is a member of our Tom Thumb Wear Your Mask Club.
Thank you, Owen
Missing Our Tom Thumb Family
Hi Mrs. Brophy,
AJ – Tom Thumb Preschool Student
We just wanted to send you a little note to let you know that our children AJ & Lily are really missing Tom Thumb! They miss their teachers, their friends, learning and socialize, the routine, and everything else about Tom Thumb. AJ gets excited about the worksheets. Hopefully, this will all be over soon and the kids can all reconnect.
Please say hi to Ms. Tracy, Madame, and all the teachers for us!
Lily – Tom Thumb Preschool Student
I attached 2 pictures of the kids making slime. It was one of today’s projects which the kids had a lot of fun with.
Stay safe and well and hope to see everyone very soon!

Wash Your Hands Song
By Gary Pane – “The Manatee Man”
[MUSIC INTRO]
You were out playing in the dirt at recess
You look at your hands and say “What a big mess.” Your hands are dirty and full of germs
You were even touching some beetles and some worms
You look at your hands and say “What a big mess.” Your hands are dirty and full of germs
You were even touching some beetles and some worms
[CHORUS]
You better wash your hands
You better wash your hands
You better wash your hands
And use plenty of soap
I said wash those hands
I said wash those hands
Wash those hands
And use plenty of soap
You better wash your hands
You better wash your hands
You better wash your hands
And use plenty of soap
I said wash those hands
I said wash those hands
Wash those hands
And use plenty of soap
Smog produced by a million cars lands on the swings and the monkey bars
Germs all over the playground stuff
Your immune system says, “I’ve had enough”[CHORUS]
You better wash your hands
You better wash your hands
You better wash your hands
And use plenty of soap
I said wash those hands
I said wash those hands
Wash those hands
And use plenty of soap>[Music Break]You can avoid the flu
You can take care of you
This ain’t nothing new
It’s something that you gotta do
Germs all over the playground stuff
Your immune system says, “I’ve had enough”[CHORUS]
You better wash your hands
You better wash your hands
You better wash your hands
And use plenty of soap
I said wash those hands
I said wash those hands
Wash those hands
And use plenty of soap>[Music Break]You can avoid the flu
You can take care of you
This ain’t nothing new
It’s something that you gotta do
You don’t want E coli
I ain’t telling no lie
Keep hands sterilized and live a better life
Staph bacteria
In your cafeteria
As bad as Diphtheria
You should take it serious
And Doorknobs are bad
They’re a germ launch pad
Just wash your hands
And you’ll always be glad
Just wash your hands
And you’ll always be glad
[CHORUS]
You better wash your hands
You better wash your hands
You better wash your hands
And use plenty of soap
I said wash those hands
I said wash those hands
Wash those hands
And use plenty of soap

Brush Your Teeth Video from Our Students
I received an email on April 3 from a Tom Thumb parent with a wonderful attached video. Although I know the family dearly and love the kids, I am keeping their identity confidential. Anyone viewing the video will cherish it. Many thanks to the M Family for sharing their home video with an important message about Brushing Your Teeth!
The email in response to Home Activity #3 “Brush Your Teeth”.
Good morning Tom Thumb (& especially Mrs. Gallagher and Mrs. Carozza),
I wanted to touch base and let you know how much the kids miss and love you all at Tom Thumb. We are so grateful for you all and hope you’re all doing well. We are keeping up with our daily activities, and I thought you’d like to see E…and D… (and their little sister, M…) singing the Brush your Teeth Song.
Enjoy!!!!

Gala Casino Night

The Lakeland Education Foundation Announces 2019-2020 Honorees Community Member and Three Educators to be Honored at March 14 Dinner Dance
The Lakeland Education Foundation (LEF) will honor three district staff members and a community member at its annual Casino Night, Silent Auction, and Dinner Dance to be held at the Villa Barone in Mahopac on Saturday, March 14, 2019.
Three outstanding supporters of the LEF and the students of the Lakeland Central School District are this year’s honorees: Lakeland High School Principal Christopher Cummings, Lakeland High School Social Studies Teacher Maureen O’Donnell, and Superintendent Dr. George Stone. Also being honored is Nancy Brophy, director, and owner of Tom Thumb Preschool.
“I am honored that people in my profession have chosen Tom Thumb and me to be recognized at Lakeland Education Foundation’s annual event,” offered Nancy Brophy. “I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I will share this honor with my teacher and staff, past and present. They have made Tom Thumb what it is today,”she added.
“I wish to express my fondest gratitude to the Lakeland Education Foundation for enriching “All Things Lakeland” over my ten years here, and many years prior,” said Dr. Stone. “It has been my distinct honor to serve the Foundation as part of the Unfunded Mandate Band who was able to give as well as receive so many blessings through LEF’s generous support. I wish the Lakeland Education Foundation continued success as they fulfill their mission to enrich and enhance the lives of Lakeland students, staff and schools.” Dr. Stone is retiring after in June 2020.
“I am extremely honored to be recognized by the Lakeland Education Foundation. The LEF dedicates so much time and effort into supporting the educational experiences of our students by providing our teachers with opportunities to enrich their students’ classroom experience,” said Christopher Cummings. “The work of the LEF supports and in many ways mirrors the work we do each and every day in our buildings. Working alongside the LEF helps continue the partnership which brings the school and community together to support our students and makes our district special,” added Cummings.
“So much about education is the support the community gives the teachers and the support the teachers offer to the community,” said Maureen O’Connell. “When you have that relationship between a community and its education system, it ensures the success of generations of people. Working at Lakeland for 25 years I’ve seen and experienced the support and success of this community,” she continued. “The LEF is an integral part of the community and Lakeland Central Schools. I am humbled to be honored by them,” she concluded.
Created in 1994, the Foundation has awarded more than $1 million to benefit the district’s students through the annual LEF grant program.
The Lakeland Education Foundation seeks to provide opportunities for the students and staff of Lakeland to expand learning opportunities, to maximize the potential of each student, and to augment the fine work that is already underway in the Lakeland Schools.
“The Lakeland Education Foundation has been working hard for the past 24 years to enhance the educational experience for all Lakeland students,” said Diane Kness, LEF President.
The money raised at the evening’s activity will be used to help fund the Foundation’s grant program. For more information or to sign up to attend the event, go to LEF@LakelandSchools.org.
