Pair Honored For Building Pond For Levittown School

LEVITTOWN, NY — Two graduates of Levittown schools were recently honored with the Northside Elementary School's Honorary Life Award for constructing a pond in the school's courtyard.

The pond, which was completed last school year by Rob and Kevin Fuentes, further beautified the Northside courtyard near the established greenhouse. It serves as a home for the school’s two pet ducks, Tater and Tot, who now enjoy the upgraded living space.

The pond features a waterfall over rocks, and more greenery will start to grow once the warmer weather hits. The courtyard is a beneficial space where students can learn about the importance of caring for animals and plants.

Rob and Kevin, owners of Tranquility Scapes, are graduates of the district and wanted to give back through their locally-owned business. The construction of the pond came at no cost to the district.
