The Bristal at Mount Sinai Celebrates Teacher Appreciation Day

The Bristal Assisted Living at Mount Sinai made Teacher Appreciation Day extra special for the educators of the Mount Sinai School District. In a heartfelt gesture of gratitude and community support, The Bristal team delivered freshly prepared lunches to local teachers, honoring their dedication, hard work, and compassion.

The Bristal's dining team prepared and delivered meals to the high school, middle school, and elementary schools, continuing a tradition that began in 2022 in celebration of World Teacher's Day.

The highlight of the day was a special visit from 99-year-old resident and retired teacher, Phyllis DiBernardo Moore, who joined the elementary school staff for lunch. Phyllis, who spent over 50 years teaching at Holy Spirit School in New Hyde Park, shared stories and wisdom from her teaching days. She left the teachers with one of her favorite sayings: “Learning is three-fourths listening.” The celebration became even more touching when kindergarten students surprised Phyllis with handmade artwork.

“Our relationship with the Mount Sinai School District has continued to grow over the years,” said Karen Caroppoli, Executive Director of The Bristal at Mount Sinai. “The Bristal is proud to support and recognize the educators who shape the community. It’s a meaningful connection that goes beyond proximity, it’s about shared values and community.”

The event is just one example of how The Bristal continues to foster connections with the local community while honoring those who make a difference every day.
