I wish to thank the Elmont Board of Education, the district staff and the Elmont community for their visible and heartfelt recognition of my humanitarian award. The kind words spoken about me at the board meeting and the many letters of congratulations received are a reminder to me of the privilege of working in such a fine community.

The Martin Luther King Humanitarian Award is a testament to the success of the Elmont community and its schools.

Thank you for sharing our vision of ever-greater educational performance and ever increasing opportunities for every student.

Dr. Maria Palandra

Superintendent of Schools, Elmont School District
