Working Together as a Community for Our Schools

                               June, 2008

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Community Members:

This has been a most exciting, challenging, and progressive year. The Board of Education has worked tirelessly on behalf of all our children by setting district goals, successfully fighting for more state aid, analyzing and planning for a long overdue site expansion, and attending countless meetings to benefit our district. We thank you for supporting our budget and proposition so that we may continue with our work.

After 12 years of service, Mrs. Nancy Gassert will be leaving the Board of Education. She has served our district in so many capacities in addition to being a long-standing figure on the Board of Education. Whether it was as an involved PTO parent and executive board member or attending the high school football games, Mrs. Gassert has been a staunch supporter of our district. We wish her well and thank her for her many years of devoted service.

Mr. Brian Stark has served on the Board of Education for the past three years. He is a well-known community volunteer. In addition to his work on the Board of Education, he is President of the Riverhead Rotary, a volunteer community coach, and can frequently be found in the background raising money for a worthy cause. He brought a strong business background to our Board and served as an advocate for all children. We thank him for his dedication.

As parents and educators, the best lesson we can teach our children is for them to utilize life’s gifts in the service to others; “This is man’s highest end, to others’ service, all his powers bend.” (Sophocles) We thank our Board members for demonstrating this to our children everyday.

Enjoy your summer!

Sincerely,

Dr. Diane B. Scricca
Superintendent of Schools
