The holiday season is a special time of year - a time to reflect on our blessings and enjoy our families and friends. It is a time to promote unity and open our hearts to one another. I want to thank all of you for your contributions to our school district and for giving us the opportunity to help you nurture and guide your children as they grow.

Your sincere interest and presence in our schools give them their cherished family atmosphere. I hope as many of you as possible are able to come to our schools for the children's winter concerts. Our talented youngsters put on a wonderful show.

On behalf of the Elmont Board of Education, I extend warmest wishes to the parents, friends and neighbors of our schools, and the residents of this great community of Elmont, for a peaceful holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year.
