In fall 2017, students raised money for classroom air conditioning through our annual Walkathon. Once classes finished up in June, work began to implement this massive upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>As part of a master plan to install air conditioning in all 52 classrooms, Molloy began work on 11 classrooms located in the east wing along Main Street. The entire project will take the next several years to complete.&nbsp;As part of the effort to make our classrooms more comfortable, heat-controlled window film will be applied to further enhance the energy efficiency of the new units.<\/p>\n<p>President Karsten, Molloy\u2019s Facilities staff, and members of the School Board\u2019s Buildings &amp; Grounds Committee led an engineering study to determine the best and most energy efficient solution for air conditioning. The solution is a commercial split system with cooling condensers on the roof. Each classroom will have its own air handler and ductwork. The initial system will provide \u201c20 tons\u201d of output. Each classroom will be fitted with a new drop ceiling and energy efficient LED lighting. The ceiling fans will also be reinstalled for those days that need just a slight breeze to keep the fresh air flowing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, work to repair the Manton Street entrance has also begun. Back in May, a strong storm caused two large trees to fall, damaging several parts of our front entrance. Work includes repairs to the front awning, netting used to repel birds, perimeter fencing, and the letters spelling our school\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-17443 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/AC_1_web.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/AC_1_web-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/AC_3_web.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/AC_3_web-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/AC_4_web.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/AC_4_web-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<hr>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #006666;\"><strong>Update Your Mailing Address<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Attention Alumni!

Students also have the opportunity to visit universities in the metro area under the guidance of Mr. Esgro. These schools include Adelphi University, Fordham University, Hunter College, Pace, Queens College, St. John\u2019s University, and Stony Brook University. \u201cBy partaking in a workshop over the summer, these students should come into senior year with less stress and more confidence in the college application process,\u201d said Mr. Esgro.

When recapping the Walk\/Run for Karina event, we neglected to mention the alumni track reunion that took place the evening prior. On June 22nd, over 25 alumni and coaches gathered at Trinity Restaurant &amp; Bar in Floral Park to reminisce and show their support for <strong>Phil Vetrano \u201974<\/strong> and his family. The following day, several of the alumni and coaches who attended the gathering also participated in the Walk\/Run for Karina.

Michael was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1966 and became a Trinitarian Catholic monk for 10 years in Maryland. He pursued a secular life and received a bachelor\u2019s degree, two master\u2019s degrees and a doctorate. Michael was a nationally certified school psychologist and worked many years for the Baltimore City school system. Later in his career, he was a college professor for psychology and professional counseling in Tucson and Green Valley. During his life, Michael was a church organist and an accomplished harpsichordist. Since the age of 8, Michael was in love with growing and learning about plants at Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. He had a special affinity for orchids and was president of the Maryland and Tucson Orchid Society. After the monastery, Michael continued his life of service by counseling young adults for little to no money.
