North Babylon students, Special Olympics athletes and retirees honored at school board meeting
Summary
At its June meeting the North Babylon board heard student reports, recognized Special Olympics participants from middle and high schools, honored retirees and marked the final meeting of student board member Amaya Carson.
The North Babylon Union Free School District Board of Education on June 11 heard student presentations, honored Special Olympics athletes and retirees, and recognized departing student board member Amaya Carson.
Sixth-grader Anaya Morales of Robert Moses Middle School told the board about the school’s new student literacy magazine, Moses Muses, and promoted a Robert Moses talent show scheduled for Wednesday, June 16 at 6 p.m.; tickets cost $5 and proceeds will go to the Make‑A‑Wish Foundation. “We are so proud of all our talented authors and artists,” Morales said.
Superintendent Dr. Graham and district coordinators then recognized Special Olympics participants from the high school and middle school. Alyssa Emmett, a special-education coordinator, introduced coaches and thanked families and volunteers for supporting athletes. A high-school coach listed medal winners from recent regional spring games, and Mr. Sentimore announced middle-school placements, noting multiple first-, second- and third-place finishes across events such as the club throw, discus and 100-yard dash.
Dr. Graham also recognized the district’s retirees, reading a list of staff who have completed long service to the district and thanking them “for your years of service, dedication, and passion.” The board presented a small token to student board member Amaya Carson as she completed her last official duties; Carson said, “This has been an amazing opportunity. I’m glad I can be somewhat of a stepping stone for student voice at North Babylon.”
The recognitions and student presentations accounted for a substantial portion of the meeting before the board moved on to routine business and votes.
