TAL Awards Honor Students

The 38th annual Teachers Association of Lindenhurst awards ceremony was held on May 19 at Lindenhurst High School. 

This year’s theme was “Common Goal for Our Core: Nourish the Mind.”

Teachers selected one student from each grade level in every school for recognition. “We are honoring students who, in one way or another, have made a difference in the lives of their school community,” said high school teacher John Savastano, who also served as co-chair of the event with Jennifer Kelly.

Upon watching two videos depicting messages of gratitude and strength, and a performance from the Lindenhurst High School a capella group Song Birds, the awards and scholarships were presented.

The Geraldine Cuneo Scholarship was awarded to Samantha Saporito; the Teachers Association of Lindenhurst Scholarship was bestowed upon Rosa Apostolico; the Joseph Pozowicz Scholarship was given to Polina Lotto; and the John Cannestraro Scholarship was awarded to Lucien Coppola. This year, TAL presented the “Friends of Education” award to the Lindenhurst cafeteria staff for their dedication and commitment to the students of the district.
