In recognition of School Board Appreciation Month, students from throughout the Lynbrook School District presented a thoughtful surprise to trustees at the Oct. 9 board of education meeting. 

Marion Street, Waverly Park and West End elementary schools and the Kindergarten Center were represented by student leaders who read a tribute to the trustees. “To our wise board, with hearts so true, each decision you make helps our schools shine through,” read Waverly Park student Weston Schmieder. They each distributed bags filled with gifts such as wristbands and Lynbrook Owl themed keychains to board members. Each school also decorated a poster with messages of thanks that were covered in signatures from students. 

Nerves were outshined by smiles and excitement as the newest class of students at the Lynbrook Kindergarten Center streamed off their buses for the first day of school on Sept. 5.

With the support of their parents by their sides, kindergartners arrived prepared with all the materials they need for a successful year. One by one, students lined up to enter for the first day and meet their new teachers and peers. Icebreaking activities helped ensure a smooth start to the rest of the year as new friends were made between peers. After students found their classrooms, parents gathered in the gymnasium to hear important information and tips from Principal Ellen Postman and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Paul Lynch.
