Hicksville Students Honor Seniors In Community

The Hicksville community’s senior citizens were honored with an afternoon filled with food, fun and entertainment on Nov. 2 at the Hicksville Public School District’s 26th annual Fall Senior Citizen Luncheon.

Hicksville High School student volunteers served hors d’oeuvres and meals to the special guests, who were also treated to special performances by the school’s marching band, string ensemble, chamber singers and theater department. One of the school’s gymnasiums, set up beautifully as a grand ballroom for the luncheon, also featured artwork and table centerpieces created by students.

The event was a harmonious and heartwarming way for students to create bonds with the elder members of the community.
