Harborfields Seniors Receive Proclamations For State Selections

GREENLAWN, NY — Proclamations were awarded to 11 seniors of Harborfields High School who had been selected last year for the American Legion Boys State and American Legion Auxiliary Girls State summer leadership and citizenship programs, according to the school district. New York State Assemblyman Steve Stern visited Harborfields High School on Nov. 22 to present the proclamations.

The students who were recognized are Chad Berlent, Quintin Gegwich, Anna Gosselin, Wyatt LaFountaine, Christian McNally, Andrew Palermo, Nicholas Ruisi, Nicolas Saliou, Jack Steel, William Sullivan and Moore Theobald.

"I think anyone who has ever been associated with the Boys and Girls State program in any way knows they will still be talking about it years and years from now," Stern told the students. "Your experience benefits all of us, because we all know what a tremendous opportunity you will have, and what outstanding leaders you are all going to be, whatever you choose to do, and that’s great for all of us as a community."
