Islip Terrace Student Wins County-wide Be Pool-Smart Contest

More than 200 entries were submitted to Legislator Cilmi's office alone.

From Tom Cilmi's Office: Legislator Tom Cilmi presented a proclamation to Anna Humann, winner of this year’s “Be Pool Smart” poster contest. Anna is a first grade student from Connetquot Elementary School in Islip Terrace. Before being chosen by the Legislature’s Budget Review Office as the overall winner, Anna’s poster was chosen by Legislator Cilmi’s office despite stiff competition. More than 200 entries were submitted to Legislator Cilmi’s office alone.

Legislator Cilmi said, “For many reasons, art is an important component of a child’s education and learning about pool safety saves lives. My congratulations go out to Anna and all of the students who participated, and I especially want to thank Mrs. Spera-Bartlett from the East Islip School District for inspiring such enthusiasm and creativity among her students.”
