Lupinacci Visits Oakwood Primary Center, Congratulates Students

Assemblyman Chad A. Lupinacci (R,C,I-South Huntington) recently visited Oakwood Primary Center to congratulate more than 20 participants in the Assembly Summer Reading Challenge. The Summer Reading Challenge, hosted by Lupinacci and his colleagues, is a program designed to encourage youths to read during the summer months while they are enjoying their summer vacation.

Participants from kindergarten through third grade at Oakwood Road Elementary Primary Center were awarded New York State Assembly Citations for their participation in the program.

“It is encouraging to learn that students are developing a passion for reading at such young ages,” Lupinacci said. “Reading is a fundamental skill that may only be mastered through years of practice – these students are certainly off to the right start.

“I would like to thank all of the teachers, parents and administrators at Oakwood Primary Center, and throughout the school districts within the 10th Assembly District, for supporting the annual Assembly Summer Reading Challenge. This program is a great way to foster strong readers for the future!”
