Summary
At its May 22 meeting, the Marlboro Central School District highlighted student achievements including a student representative nomination for a statewide award, the district's senior top-10, students of the month and spring athletics success.
Marlboro Central School District officials used the board meeting on May 22 to recognize student leaders, senior academic honorees and spring athletics accomplishments.
Superintendent Mister Riedell praised student representative Amelia for founding a high-school hygiene supply program called "Amelia's Closet" and said he nominated her for the New York State School Boards Association "Tomorrow's Leaders Today" award. "She represented well. Just her messages to the group were so profound and beyond her years," Riedell said. He read from his nomination, describing Amelia as "a selfless and compassionate leader" who established a sustained supply chain of hygiene products for students in need.
The student recognition portion of the meeting also included the presentation of a certificate given on behalf of retiring board member Frank Milazzo; Amelia accepted the certificate for Milazzo and invited him to receive it. "This is for Mr. Milazzo, who is retiring from the Board of Education this year," Amelia said when presenting the award.
Board and school staff also recognized individual student achievements across grade levels. Marlboro Middle School presented May and June students of the month: Mia Monteperto (May) and Abigail Rendon (June). A Marlboro High School staff member announced the top-10 academic seniors and their college plans: Jacqueline Rivera (SUNY New Paltz, marketing/international business), Lily Sullivan (SUNY Cortland, Spanish education), Sean Robertson (University at Albany, accounting), Danielle Tacconi (Binghamton University, applied mathematics), Troy Gillette (NC State, engineering), Midori Gosnell (Marist University, pre-veterinary studies), Thomas Malek (Stony Brook University, engineering), Sofia Dreyer (Virginia Tech, kinesiology/physical therapy), Molly Daley (Binghamton University, math and science) and Emma Stobling (Russell Sage College, physical therapy).
Athletics highlights included state-qualifying performances and section championships: freshman golfer Leigh Trapani qualified for states; softball, baseball and lacrosse advanced from Section 9 semifinals to finals; the tennis team won the Section 9 championship; and four students medaled at the Section 9 track and field championship. Staff and board members offered congratulations and best wishes to teams advancing to state-level competition.
The meeting also noted retirements and upcoming events. Board members identified three retirees (Connors, Bobby Salzano and Theresa Smith) and said they will be honored at a future meeting. Board members announced the district's reorganizational meeting is scheduled for Monday, July 7.
The recognitions and announcements took place during the portion of the meeting reserved for superintendent and student reports and required no formal board action beyond acceptance of routine consent items earlier in the agenda.
