In celebration of School Board Recognition Week, Levittown students, district unions and PTA representatives honored the trustees for their voluntary service and commit
ment to students with tokens of appreciation on Oct. 19.

“We cannot begin to thank you for everything you do for the students of the district,” she said.
In addition to citations from local representatives, the board received a special dinner by the district’s bargaining units and a donation to the Levittown Food Pantry by the PTA Council. The elementary schools hung posters of appreciation in the boardroom, and central office staff gifted polo shirts designed with the district logo.
