Innovator, collaborator, researcher and mentor were the words used to describe Kirsten Anderson, the library media specialist at Jonas Salk Middle School who received the Nassau BOCES School Librarian of the Year Award. She was recognized for this achievement at the Levittown Board of Education meeting on

Sept. 13. Ms. Anderson was nominated for the award by Tom D’Ambrosio, Veronica McCarthy, Kerin Slattery and Caitlin Stabile. Superintendent Todd Winch and the board of education presented Ms. Anderson with a certificate of merit during the meeting. “She thinks outside

the box and brings books alive for our middle school students,” said Ms. Slattery, Levittown’s director of English Language Arts. “She is an enthusiastic contributor at the building as well as district level. She is a team player always willing to go the extra mile to make every student feel special and accepted in her library space.”

—John Riley, Grasshopper’s Comics, Williston Park John Riley loves comic books. For the last 30 years, he’s been sharing that love with readers young and old. And we’ve been with John every step of the way, helping plan improvements ranging from upgrading LED lighting to replacing a 50-year-old oil tank with a super-efficient heat pump. These upgrades save him money that he reinvests in—you guessed it—more comic books. As it should be.

After her grandson Gabriel died of an overdose in 2010, Grandmother Paulette Phillippe remembers how her family had the additional struggle to pay for funeral expenses. That’s why in 2020, to mark Gabriel’s 10th anniversary in heaven, she formed Gabriel’s Giving Tree (GGT) to help families in need on Long Island pay for funeral and burial services after a loved one dies from an opioid poisoning or substance use disorder. In 2021,

GGT joined forces with the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (LICADD), together they have raised more than $100,000, assisting nearly 30 families to provide their loved ones one final gift. Says Phillippe, “I know from experience that many families may not have these funds, especially after using much of their resources to help their loved one with treatment costs, in hopes of helping them become healthy and

free from addiction. The grants provided by GGT only cover a portion of the expenses. Fortunately, several Long Island funeral homes, including Fives Funeral Homes in Smithtown and Patchogue work with the organization to help families struggling to pay for funeral costs stay within a budget.” On October 29, 2023, GGT and LICADD will be hosting its annual fundraiser, “The Peter Sweisgood and Gabriel’s Giving Tree Healing and

Recovery Breakfast” in memory of former LICADD Executive Director, Peter Sweisgood. The breakfast will honor Richard Buckman, Founder of the Long Island Recovery Association and Ed Olsen (posthumously) for their contributions to the field of recovery. The Breakfast is an opportunity for families to share their experience in grief and healing during a casual, come as you are event. To be as inclusive as possible, tickets are priced at $55. The Breakfast will be held from 10 a.m. to 2

p.m. at the Heritage Club at Bethpage. For tickets and information about sponsorship opportunities, contact Nadege Jeanty at LICADD at 516-747-2606 or visit: https://licadd.org In addition to assisting with funeral costs, Gabriel’s Giving Tree has created a Tree Memorial and Serenity Garden at the Suffolk County Environmental Center at the Scully Estate, located at 550 South Bay Avenue in Islip. Called “Gabriel’s Giving Tree Memorial & Recovery Park,” the

October Fundraising Event Helps Pay For Funerals Of Loved Ones Who Died From Drug Overdose & Provides Grief And Loss Services For Families serene space gives visitors the opportunity to heal and reflect. Together with LICADD they connect families to grief and loss services. For more information on a scholarship after losing a loved one: gabriel. givingtree@gmail.com . All donations to LICADD, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, are tax deductible as allowable by law. Donations may be directed to the Gabriel’s Giving Tree Program in support of scholarships for funeral services.

Seven Bellmore-Merrick CHSD Students Named National Merit Semiﬁnalists

Seven students in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District have been named National Merit Semifinalists in the 2024 competition. Joseph Darcourt and Fiona Wong of Sanford H. Calhoun High School, Sara

Maltempi, Avidan Moont and Cole Wasserman of John F. Kennedy High School and Matthew Keegan and Matt Yang of Wellington C. Mepham High School were among those who earned this distinction.

“We are once again in awe at the academic achievements made by our students,” said Superintendent Michael Harrington. “It’s amazing to watch them flourish in Bellmore-Merrick, especially knowing how

well they are supported by our educational staff and faculty.” The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school

students enter the National Merit program by taking the Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. More than 16,000 students qualified as semifinalists. This year, about 95 percent are

expected to attain finalist standing. Finalists will be notified in February 2024 and scholarship winners will be announced in the spring of 2024. Photos courtesy of the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District

Mepham Celebrates Homecoming A little rain couldn’t stop Mepham from playing their homecoming game and celebrating other traditions on Oct. 7. While their pep rally and festival had to be canceled, the homecoming court was

celebrated at halftime and included students Julia Amon, Grace Pantelis, Josh Ramdayal, Kieran Kehoe and Ibrahim Alam and Kristen McCoy. Alam and McCoy were crowned king and queen,

respectively. The kickline and cheerleading squad performed at halftime as well, pepping up the crowd. Unfortunately, the Pirates fell to New Hyde Park, 22-15.
