Students thank the Board of Education

The gratitude of staff and students from throughout the Levittown Public School District for the Board of Education’s support was shown during the Oct. 11 regular meeting.

Board trustees’ combined years of service totals to 70 years, from Mrs. Phyllis Dalton’s current first year and Mr. James Moran’s 25^th year. Electric signs at each school building projected messages of thanks, and posters by elementary school students were displayed in the board room. Elected officials joined to add their praise, including State Senator Steve Rhoads, State Assemblyman John Mikulin and Hempstead Town Clerk Kate Murray.

A plethora of presents were given to trustees, such as sling backpacks and quarter zips from the Jonas E. Salk and Wisdom Lane middle schools’ respective National Junior Honor Society and Student Council. Additionally, the Division Avenue High School Student Council handed out Dig Pink T-shirts and treats to prepare trustees for the Dig Pink event and made a monetary donation in the board’s name. General Douglas MacArthur High School senior class officers concluded the night of thanks with Generals hats and keychains.
