Thank you to the Superintendent, Dr. Ann Pedersen. Her guidance and direction brought the program to fruition and led the program to its fullest.
Thank you to Congresswoman Kathleen Rice for her efforts for the program, her assistance throughout the distribution and for joining us for the distribution.
Thank you to State Senator Todd Kaminsky for helping the district for this program and so many others. He and his team have been a valuable resource to the district.
Thank you to Nassau County Executive Laura Curran for her assistance throughout the program.
Thank you to the West Hempstead School District and Hewlett-Woodmere School District for being great partners and neighbors. Thank you to the school leadership and personnel for their weekly volunteering and facilitating.
