Evelyn Paola, (right) a resident of The Bristal at East Meadow who was a longtime teacher at the Barnum Woods Elementary School in East Meadow, and an Education Teacher at SUNY Old Westbury visited the Barnum Woods School, her first visit to the school in many years. Ms. Paola was so loved and respected during her tenure at the school that she was affectionately known as the Mayor of Barnum Woods.
Ms. Paola and fellow residents of The Bristal sent cards of appreciation to the Barnum Woods teachers in commemoration of World Teacher’s Day and donated school supplies to students in need. Barnum Woods School Social Worker, Lisa Volo (left) accepted the cards from Ms. Paola. According to Evelyn Paola, “To teach is to touch a life forever.”
