The show runs Friday through Sunday.
This Friday through the Weber Middle School drama club will proudly present their annual musical production of: “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” The musical, which is told in a high-energy rock opera style (yes, that means hardly any speaking lines) was the first musical written by the dynamic team of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. “Joseph” is based on the biblical story of “Joseph and his multicolored coat,” from the book of Genesis. The show shares the tale of how Joseph, Jacob’s favorite son, is blessed with prophetic dreams. He is then sold into slavery by his conniving and jealous brothers, but is able to overcome his odds and achieve greatness. Joseph continually shares with the audience that dreams really can …

The School Board holds a night of discussion for residents.
The Port Washington School Board invited parents and community members to Weber Middle School for a community forum Tuesday. After board member Sandy Erlich welcomed residents to Weber, they broke off into three groups for the various forums – curriculum, technology and facilities. Board member Bob Ryan ran the facilities forum, along with Jim Ristano, director of facilities for the district, and James Weydig, district architect. Weber's auditorium was the perfect setting for a discussion about bettering the infrastructure of Port schools. "This auditorium is probably the most beautiful piece of public architecture in Port Washington, but unfortunately leaks like these can happen," Ryan said, pointing to the roof of Weber's auditorium, …

The Senior Citizen brunch was packed with Port Washington residents who were overjoyed with the spirit of the town.
As part of the Pride in Port festivities, the senior citizens and veterans were not forgotten. In the cafeteria of Schreiber High School, students danced for the local seniors and served them salad, turkey and mashed potatoes, juice, fruit and chocolate chip cookies. Attorney General nominee Eric Schneiderman and Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel were in attendance, shaking hands and chatting with many of the seniors at the luncheon. Seventy-five-year-old Port Washington resident Barbara Faticone reminisced about the first day Paul D. Schreiber High School opened it's doors in 1953. "We carried our chairs from the [Carrie Palmer Weber] Middle School up Campus Drive to do our homeroom here at the High School," she said. "The spirit was …

Members of Weber Middle School's eighth-grade baseball team shaved their heads to honor teammate who went through brain surgery.
Tragedy exists in life. There is no special formula to avoid it. And as in life, tragedy also exists in sports. But where there is tragedy, there is also chance, hope and miracles. When C.J. Tantillo, a member of the eighth-grade baseball team at Weber Middle School, was hit by a car back in February, his life was held in the balance. "It was a very upsetting thing," said Weber baseball coach Derek Novinski. "C.J. is a really, really good kid. We had him on the football team and he is just a wonderful young man. It was an unfortunate incident." The 14-year-old Tantillo was left with a broken femur, and severe brain swelling. Had it not been for the quick and resourceful actions of the Port Washington Police as well as the efforts of the …

Residents came out to see NTOR, made up of five Weber Middle School students, as they performed a free concert at Port Washington Public Library on Thursday night.
Before NTOR took the stage on Thursday night at the Port Washington Public Library, a couple of librarians walked into the event center while the band was doing its sound check. "They told us to keep it down," explained the band's 13-year-old lead singer Joe Panico, "so we made it louder." Natural born rockers. NTOR, an alternative electro-pop band made of up five Weber Middle School students, played an hour-long free concert, and left their fans who packed the library's event center wanting more. Fans, like 12-year-old Olivia Burwell, sang and danced along to familiar tunes, but were also happy to hear some new ones. "It was very creative," Burwell said of the band's performance. "Everyone loves them, and they were especially good …

Karen Sloan, William Hohauser and Bob Ryan elected to school board; residents also approve Prop 2, which grants the board the right to sell two unused pieces of property.
The almost-wintry weather did not keep Port Washington residents away from the polls on Tuesday, as they voted 2,880 to 2,102 in favor of passing the school budget for the 2010-11 school year at $127,093,245. "I'm very grateful that the community chose to support the balance of educational excellence and soaring student achievement, with careful and prudent fiscal responsibility," Superintendent Dr. Geoffrey Gordon said about the results.

Weber HSA co-presidents ask residents to vote "yes" on the school district's budget.

Friday, May 7, 2010
To the Editor: The month of May brings many things — warmer weather, longer daylight hours, bouts of spring fever (as well as those darn allergy attacks), but in school district terms, it heralds the arrival of the school budget vote. Each year, as your parent leaders at Weber Middle School, we make a plea for support for the budget. This year will be no different. While spring is a wonderful season, the budget season is not. We attend numerous Board of Ed meetings, many of them contentious. We hear reports of state aid decreasing and cuts in federal funding, as well as increasing costs of supplies. Basically, the starting point for the budget is to maintain programing, but with less funding available to the district. An impossible task, …
