On Tuesday, October 27, 1997, Cantiague Elementary had their first Journey North "kickoff" on the front lawn of the school. Kindergarten and Fifth grade classes planted our tulip bulbs as the entire school surrounded the tulip bed (in the shape of a tulip) and sang a song about planting tulips that our talented music teacher wrote for us.
We were fortunate enough to have great media coverage for this event! Two television stations and a local newspaper covered our story, and we put Journey North "on the map" on Long Island!
