Sayville Students Honored With Community Leadership Awards

The Sayville School District honored its ten recipients of the Long Island Coalition Against Bullying (LICAB) Community Leadership Awards at a recent ceremony. The students, two from each Sayville school building, were each presented a certificate and introduced with a special speech by the teacher who nominated them. The LICAB Community Leadership Award is awarded to Sayville students for demonstrating strong character, leadership, and empathy.

Elementary school recipients were Ean Dinkel, Sienna Dodge, Michaela Greco, Emily Griffiths, Mason Martello, and Myles Wilkinson. Sayville Middle School, recipients were Deanna Jackson and Lillian McDonald, Jack Hartman and Frankie Miller were awarded from the high school.

“In the Sayville School District, we believe that along with learning, it is important for us to build a culture of caring,” said Sayville superintendent of schools Dr. Marc Ferris. “With these annual LICAB awards, we are able to take a moment to recognize those students in our school community that embody that mission and show that they care for their fellow students.”

Each award recipient also received a check rewarding them for their good deeds, with elementary schoolers receiving $100, middle schoolers receiving $500, and high schoolers receiving $1,000.
