Babylon Teachers' Association holding annual Scholastic Awards Dinner
Members of the Babylon community are getting ready to check to see whether their junior or senior high students will be receiving invitations to the Babylon Teachers Association Scholastic Awards Dinner. On Thursday, June 10, 2008, at 7 p.m., the Babylon Teachers' Association will sponsor its 33rd annual dinner for the students in the Junior-Senior High School with the highest academic achievements. The dinner, given in the tradition of honoring those who have devoted themselves to academic pursuits, will take place at a new venue this year, the Huntington Hilton.
Roughly 80 students from grades seven through twelve and their families will be invited to attend, and the selected students will be honored with certificates of academic merit in all disciplines. In addition, the two students with the highest average (one in the junior high and one in the senior high division) will be awarded general excellence plaques. Lastly, eight monetary awards will be given to Seniors for their commitment, social responsibility, and scholarship in memory of eight teachers who exemplified these qualities during their many years of service to the Babylon UFSD.
This year's Scholastic Awards Committee is hard at work, ensuring that the accomplishments of Babylon's many fine students are recognized. The Scholastic Awards Dinner is chaired by Linda Fama, teacher of mathematics at Babylon Junior-Senior High School. Committee members also include Edward Augustine, Liz Barry, Jacie Chattereton, Jane Herbst, Laura Jayne, Tracy Lesnick, Anne May, Christian Murphy, Marie Poelker, Claire Reilly, Eric Reisert, Barbara Restivo, James Schappert, and Valerie Schultheis.
The evening promises to be entertaining, conducted with the emcee talents of Edward Augustine, guidance counselor at Babylon Junior-Senior High School, and the guest speaker for the evening is Max B. Haspel, a Babylon alumnus who has specialized in financial planning and serves on the Board of Directors for the Fiver Children's Foundation. Once again, the Babylon Teachers' Association shows its commitment to quality education and service to their students and the Babylon community.
