During the board of education meeting on Oct. 10, the Floral Park-Bellerose School District honored its board members for Board Recognition Month, its principals for National Principals Month and celebrate recently tenured teachers.
Interim Superintendent Lisa Ruiz acknowledged Board Recognition Month and thanked the board for their service.
“Our members are extraordinary volunteers and tonight we are highlighting them for their dedication, commitment and the many hours of hard work they put in; we are truly fortunate to have such a strong, supportive team guiding our schools to ensure the success of all our students,” Ruiz said. “Even though we make a special effort to show our appreciation in October, their contribution is a year-round commitment.”
Following Board Recognition Month, meeting attendees and board of education members were praised the achievements of elementary teachers Marissa Critelli and Rachael Sutherland for their recent tenure appointments.
The evening presentations closed with Ruiz acknowledging Floral Park-Bellerose School Principal John DeKams and John Lewis Childs School Principal Kristina Lynch for National Principals Month.
