District athletic teams, coaches, administrators and community members, along with local and state politicians, joined members of the Renna family at the 13th annual Christina Renna Foundation Walk-A-Thon and Blood Drive held at Lindenhurst Middle School.

Christina, a former student of the Lindenhurst School District, was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer, and passed away in 2007. The walk supports the Christina Renna Foundation goal of  “supporting children's cancer research and increasing the levels of awareness and education through the support of cancer groups and outreach programs for the direct support of those in need,” as stated on the website, www.crf4acure.org. All money raised will benefit children’s cancer research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

Lindenhurst High School seniors Peter Danaher and John Ertle were recognized as Commended Students in the National Merit Scholarship Program. The students entered the 2020 National Merit Program by taking the 2018 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). This is an honor bestowed upon students who have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success.  

Peter and John were presented with a Letter of Commendation from the school and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, which conducts the program.

“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for the NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
