New Stewart School principal Keri Hand (back right) and assistant principal Rachel Lindsey (back left) met with students on Aug. 24 during a meet and greet event outside Stewart School. Prior to the first day of school, Stewart and Stratford students from the Garden City Public Schools and their families visited their respective school buildings for a special meet and greet with building administrators. The event took place outdoors on Aug. 24. At Stratford School, students had the opportunity to meet their new assistant principal, Lauren Quezada, and catch up with Principal Christopher Hartigan while enjoying the sunshine and playing with their peers. Later in the day, Stewart School hosted its meet and greet in a similar fashion. Stewart students met their new principal, Keri Hand, and new assistant principal, Rachel Lindsey, outside the school. They also had fun on the school’s two playgrounds, played games with friends and participated in arts and crafts.

The Garden City Board of Trustees meeting held on Thursday, August 18 featured over an hour of public comments pertaining to the future of the village’s National Register of Historic Places-listed St. Paul’s main building, and the process by which the Village of Garden City will come to a decision on the site’s future use. A lifelong village resident noted the packed crowd for the board’s August meeting and said most people in the audience attended due to the Board’s discussion on setting a timeline for
a referendum on St. Paul’s future. But he said more village residents attended the concert at the Gazebo adjacent to Village Hall that Thursday evening, “because people do not know about this.” The point was raised that most residents of Garden City today are young families raising children, and the older generations have kept informed with traditional means such as with the Village Board’s monthly or biweekly meetings. The board listened as concerns over the lack of information provided to all residents were put forth. See page 45
