Why did Malverne students show their appreciation for the Board of Education?

Malverne Board of Education members were recognized by students and faculty for their dedication to the schools and commitment to always doing what’s best for the students at the Oct. 8 meeting.

Representatives from each school honored the members for their volunteer service, and contributions to their schools and community, highlighting many specific actions that have directly benefited their scholars, including facilities updates and providing funding for sports and academic programs.

The staff and students from Maurice W. Downing Primary School presented the board with a gift of a tree created with photos of students, symbolizing both the growth and innovative spirit they are helping facilitate.

Students from Davison Avenue Intermediate School and Howard T. Herber Middle School offered video presentations highlighting their appreciation.

From Malverne High School, students in the new Virtual Enterprise class, which was created with support from the board, attended the meeting to update the members of the progress of their business plan and thank them for making this opportunity a reality.

New York State School Boards Recognition Week, which ran from Oct. 14 to 18, is an opportunity to raise community awareness and understanding about the crucial role school board members have within a school district.
