During last night’s meeting of the Sachem Central School District Board of Education, the nine esteemed members of the Board were recognized for their extraordinary efforts as representatives for Sachem students, staff and community members.

Numerous district organizations, including the Sachem Administrators Association, Sachem Classroom Teachers Association, Sachem Clerical Association, Sachem Nurses Association, Sachem Supervisors Association, Sachem Parent-Teacher Association Council and the Sachem custodial, maintenance, facilities and security unions all presented the Board with tokens of appreciation or made donations in their name for their continuous outstanding contributions to the Sachem Central School District and community.

Among others, a donation was made to the DezyStrong Foundation, a foundation established by Matthew DiStefano, a Sachem High School North teacher currently battling cancer. The organization’s mission is to individuals with cancer access to experiences that directly instill mental well-being.
