The Sayville Union Free School District recognized Girl Scout Troop 559 for designing, building and stocking shelving for the district’s Sayville store, a school‑based resource that provides hygiene and toiletry items to families in need.
A district speaker described the troop’s seven‑year history together, their volunteer work with social workers and family members, and ongoing support from facilities staff. “They took extreme pride in what they were doing,” the presenter said, reading a citation honoring the girls’ contribution.
According to the presentation, the troop’s leaders, Miss Jacqueline Rose and Miss Danielle Riolo, coordinated the troop’s volunteer efforts, with additional help from family members. District facilities director Danny Castellano assisted with hanging the shelves and stocking the store.
Board comments framed the Sayville store as a district support initiative; staff said troop members painted shelves and assembled hygiene bags that have been distributed to families. The board formally presented a citation commending the troop’s service; the presentation was ceremonial and did not include board action items.
The district called the Sayville store a continuing resource for families and thanked volunteers and facilities staff for supporting setup and stocking.
