The board recognized multiple student achievements across the district, including art scholarship offers, Key Club honors and strong showings in Virtual Enterprise competitions.
The Burns Seidman (senior portfolio) gallery at Lynnbrook High School showcased senior portfolios produced under the mentorship of Mr. Sena. The presentation said this year’s group received just over $1.2 million in talent scholarship offers; the district’s 25‑year total for talent scholarship offers from art program students was reported as just over $17.3 million.
Student journalism and photography awards were also recognized: the Horizon student newspaper placed third for best overall newspaper in the New York Press Association awards, and named individual award winners for news and feature stories and photography. The Key Club reported multiple awards at a district conference, including service and public relations recognitions and distinguished officer honors; two members were noted for leadership roles at the division and district levels.
At the Lindnbrook (district) second annual Virtual Enterprise trade show, roughly 60 virtual enterprise firms from 38 schools participated. Two Lynnbrook teams won gold medals in categories including social media, sales materials and professionalism. One team (Revive) qualified for the national finals at the Javits Center and placed in the top 22 nationally in the business plan/finance competition.
Why it matters: The board used its meeting to publicly recognize student accomplishments in arts, journalism, service and entrepreneurship, and to highlight district programs that provide real‑world skill development.
What’s next: Student honorees were invited forward for photos and t‑shirts; the board encouraged the community to view the gallery and attend upcoming events celebrating student work.
