East Islip Students Visit NYC

EAST ISLIP, NY - From East Islip School District: Accompanied by teachers Jean Flood, Linda Leach and Carene Mahoney, 42 East Islip High School English students visited New York City in December, including viewings of Macy’s decorated windows, Bryant Park’s Christmas tree and Rockefeller Center’s Christmas tree and ice rink.

“The best part of the field trip was the tour of NBC Studios,” said Leach. During this segment, the students got to see the stages used for “Saturday Night Live,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Late Night With Seth Meyers” while soaking up behind-the- scenes information and gossip from their tour guides, the NBC pages. The tour ended with an interactive video where the students were able to participate in an Olympic broadcast production.
