Hempstead school blends architecture, sustainability

Evergreen Charter School unveils

innovative mass timber building

By SeAN KeNNeDY Correspondent

An innovative, award-winning structure now adorns the skylines in Hempstead, as the Evergreen Charter School’s recently opened Secondary School stands as one of the first of its kind in the United States.

As one of the first school buildings on the East Coast constructed of mass timber, the building serves as one of the prime examples of when modern architecture meets high sustainability standards. Evergreen uses a cross-laminated timber structure, reducing the building’s carbon impact.

“The inspiration comes from our thinking about the environment and about providing our students with the best possible building,” said Gil Bernardino, president and co-founder of the Evergreen Charter School. “Our inspiration, our values, and our way of thinking resulted in this spectacular building.”

After the structure’s completion in August 2025, the environmentallyfriendly facility spans across 89,000-square-feet on Laurel Avenue, creating a space for students from seventh through 12th grades to earn not just an education, but learn about environmental and sustainability awareness.

“What’s really nice about the building itself is that it becomes a prop for teaching,” said Martin Hopp, the building’s architect.

Around the school, there are air sensors that detect levels of chemical compounds such as carbon dioxide. The goal is to have the students seeing these sensors and learn to understand the world around them, and how they interact with their environment daily.

“One of our focuses for the building was indoor air quality, and indoor environmental awareness,” Hopp said. “The students can interact with the [screens], see what the [compound]

$1M for clean water

By ALYSSA R. GRIFFIN agriffin@liherald.com

Rep. Laura Gillen unveiled that more than $1 million in federal funding is on its way to help replace one of the region’s oldest water plants and improve the safety of drinking water for residents of Hempstead village.

Standing with Mayor Waylyn Hobbs Jr., Trustee Tanya Carter, and resident activist Mary Purdie at the Hempstead Water Department, Gillen said on Tuesday that the village will receive the federal grant to support upgrades at the water treatment facility — a plant now more than 100 years old.

“Hempstead has suffered from legacy water contamination, crumbling infrastructure and unacceptable water quality that has long been ignored by the federal government,” said Gillen, who represents many communities across Nassau County.

Wship and advocacy.

“We have wonderful people that we have elected, and they have not forgotten about any one of us,” she said. “When we turn on our tap water, we want to make sure that everyone is drinking safe water.”

Purdie, a village resident who presented Gillen with hundreds of signatures following a party, demanding urgent help, sparked the push for federal funding.

“She said, “We need clean water here in Hempstead, I’m giving you these signatures, and if I vote for you, you got to promise me that you will not forget the people of Hempstead,” Purdie said.

hen we turn on our tap water, we want to make sure that everyone is drinking safe water.

The announcement follows growing community concern over the presence of PFAs — per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — in local water sources. These manmade chemicals have been linked to serious health risks, including cancer.

“After local officials found alarming levels of cancer causing PFAs in the drinking water, the need for federal help was not just necessary, it was urgent,” she said. “Clean drinking water, as we all know, is essential for the health of any community and the families here in Hempstead should not have to worry about developing life threatening illnesses every time they turn on the tap.”

Carter praised the village’s leader-

“I promised Miss Purdie, I promised the mayor that if I got to Hempstead, I’d fight for every resident to get access to the clean water that they deserve, because it should not matter where you live to determine whether or not your water is cancer free,” Gillen added.

Hobbs said the funding is a critical step for the largest village in the state.

“We deserve to make sure that all of our elected officials from local, state and federal level come through for the residents of the Village of Hempstead, and you [Gillen] have and you have delivered, and we’re excited about it,” he said.

In total, the project is expected to cost nearly $50 million. So far, the village has received $1 million from Nassau County, nearly $37 million from New York state, and the new $1 million federal grant. Roughly another $11 million is needed.

“Without that help, this project

Hempstead town leaders sworn in Mulchfest hosted at Echo Park

Two of the Town of Hempstead’s most prominent public servants took the Oath of Office during the town’s induction ceremony on Jan. 7 at Division Avenue High School in Levittown, where elected officials, families and community members gathered to mark the start of a new term.

Town Clerk Kate Murray was sworn in by Nassau County Republican Committee Chairman Joe Cairo. A longtime public figure in the town, Murray has held multiple leadership roles in local and state government, including as Hempstead town supervisor, a New York State assemblymember, and currently as town clerk. She was first elected to the clerk’s post in 2001.

Deputy Supervisor Dorothy Goosby also took the Oath of Office, administered by noted civil rights attorney Frederick K. Brewington, Esq. Goosby made history in 1999 when she became the first Black woman elected to the Hempstead Town Board. She is the board’s longest-serving current member and remains a powerful advocate

for equity and representation.

Goosby led the landmark federal voting rights lawsuit against the Town of Hempstead that resulted in the creation of councilmanic districts. The change helped improve minority voter representation across Long Island’s most populous township. Her decadeslong public service and legal activism have earned her regional and national recognition.

The induction ceremony marked a moment of continuity and reflection as the town begins a new year of governance. Several other officials were also sworn in during the event.

As the largest township in the United States, the Town of Hempstead is home to more than 750,000 residents. The Town Board governs a range of services and programs affecting communities across southern and central Nassau County, including Uniondale, Baldwin, Elmont, and other hamlets and villages.

tree recycling event.

Uniondale resident Angel Maisonet took part in the Town of Hempstead’s annual Mulchfest event on Jan. 10 at Echo Park in West Hempstead, where residents recycled their Christmas trees into usable mulch.

Maisonet was assisted by Hempstead Town Supervisor John Ferretti, Councilman Tom Muscarella and Town Clerk Kate Murray during the event, which promotes sustainable practices and helps reduce holiday waste.

Mulchfest allows residents to dispose of their real Christmas trees in an

eco-friendly way. After trees are chipped into mulch on-site, participants receive a free bag to use in their yards or gardens come springtime. The program is offered at no cost to residents and serves as part of the town’s broader efforts to encourage recycling and environmental stewardship.

would have cost close to maybe $50 million and so we didn’t have the bond for $50 million dollars, which would have been on the burden of the taxpayers,” Hobbs said. “It’s with this grant from our Congresswoman, from the state level, our governor, and even on the county level, that we have been able to take a big chunk out of this project.”

Hobbs said the village would continue working to secure the additional $15 million in funds.

“We’re going to continue to seek any federal or state funding we can get,” he said. “There’s always more money out there to address this issue.”

Gillen noted that many municipalities who applied for money in the 2025 appropriations process did not receive anything, and she wants to change that.

“Many of the projects that municipalities seek to fund are very expensive, so we make sure that there’s a concrete plan that they have in place, and they have the funding to complete the project, that’s really important in the application process,” she said.

The fight for clean water goes beyond Hempstead, “Water contamination is not something that’s unique to Hempstead,” Gillen added. “We have problems with the Grumman plume, we have problems all across Long Island and in fact, across our country, with these emerging contaminants in our water.”

Green campus inspires students beyond the classroom

levels are within the building, and then that can be part of discussions in their classes.”

The building is also taking on the tall task of targeting LEED Platinum status, the highest form of certification given by the U.S. Green Building Council that would mark the site as one of the premier green structures not just among high schools, but also among buildings worldwide.

The Art of Negotiation

“There’s very few schools in general that are certified as LEED platinum,” Hopp said. “I think that our project is proof that it’s possible to be ambitious in architecture and our commitment to sustainability.”

While the building is currently at the level of LEED Gold, project leaders still believe that the structure can reach LEED Platinum status. If the accomplishment is achieved, the school would be one of just 264 structures in New York state to meet LEED Platinum certification.

T“Knowing that the children in the [Hempstead] community have been up against the odds, that they can call this place their home and that it is the best of the best, we think is super special,” said Sarah Brewster, vice president and co-founder of Evergreen Charter School. “We are very, very close to achieving it, and even achieving LEED Gold status is a huge accomplishment.”

Agriculture Mass Timber Competition: “Building to Net Zero,” one of six winners in the national competition.

“We won that award, and I think that was incredibly encouraging and further introduced us into [the green building] community,” Hopp said. “It was incredibly helpful to have won that, and I think that Hempstead has been raised in profile by having lots of visitors to the project.”

his building has become incredibly special for us, because we wanted to put Hempstead on the map for something positive coming out of the community.

Brewster is a licensed social worker and a therapist.

The building is no stranger to garnering awards and accomplishments. In 2022, the project won the Softwood Lumber Board and U.S. Department of

Because of its reputable status in the greenbuilding community, the project showcases Hempstead as one of the first locations nationwide to undergo, complete, and maintain such an innovative project.

For some project leaders, they believe that completing an ambitious project like that of the Secondary School will provide a glimpse of hope for local students coming from difficult socioeconomic backgrounds.

“We really wanted this to be a building where students are inspired,” Brewster said. “This building has become incredibly special for us, because we wanted to put Hempstead on the map for something positive coming out of the community.”

TERMS

OF SALE

Such tax liens shall be sold subject to any and all superior tax liens of sovereignties and other municipalities and to all claims of record which the County may have thereon and subject to the provisions of the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts. However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a tax lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) and the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA),12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The Nassau County Treasurer reserves the right to intervene in any bankruptcy case/litigation where the property affected by the tax liens sold by

the Treasurer is part of the bankruptcy estate. However, it is the sole responsibility of all tax lien purchasers to protect their legal interests in any bankruptcy case affecting their purchased tax lien, including but not limited to the filing of a proof of claim on their behalf, covering their investment in said tax lien. The Nassau County Treasurer and Nassau County and its agencies, assumes no responsibility for any legal representation of any tax lien purchaser in any legal proceeding including but not limited to a bankruptcy case where the purchased tax lien is at risk. The rate of interest and penalty at which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten per cent of the amount for which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety per cent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety per cent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all amounts deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten per cent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase shall be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale.

This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of the sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale. Furthermore, as to the bidding,

1. The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the

Students step into history with in-class museum walk

Fourth graders in Ms. Cutillo’s class document their thoughts about images from the 1600 and 1700s

Students in a fourth-grade dual language class at Archer Street Elementary School in the Freeport School District recently took a step back in time through an immersive, museum-style lesson that brought social studies to life.

During Ms. Cutillo’s class, the classroom was transformed into an interactive gallery featuring historical images from the 1600s and 1700s. Students rotated through the exhibits, closely examining each image while engaging in guided discussions with classmates.

his innovative approach to instruction allows students to actively engage with history rather than simply read about it.

As they moved through the room, students shared their “notices” and “wonderings,” using observation and inquiry to deepen their understanding of the historical period and make connections to the past.

“This innovative approach to

instruction allows students to actively engage with history rather than simply read about it,” said Principal Manouchka Daniel. “Through observation, discussion, and curiosity highlighted in programs such as these, our students develop critical thinking skills and a deeper appreciation for the past.” The museum walk provided a hands-on learning experience that encouraged curiosity, collaboration and meaningful dialogue, effectively bringing the museum experience directly into the classroom.
