On June 15, the Lindenhurst Union Free School District Board of Education held its Community Forum at the McKenna Administration Building. During the meeting, numerous displays of excellence in the arts were on display and several awards were presented recognizing community members, students, staff and administrators.

The night began with a performance by members of the sixth grade band under the direction of Mrs. Rosequist. Additionally, artwork from the students of Daniel Street and William Rall elementary schools were on display for visitors to enjoy.

The Pride of Lindenhurst Award is presented annually in several categories by the members of the Board of Education and the Superintendent of Schools in recognition of an outstanding contribution that inspires pride in the Lindenhurst Union Free School District. This year’s Pride of Lindenhurst in the Community category was given to Jeremy Ruckert.
