On Oct. 28, Valley Stream District 30 celebrated Board of Education Appreciation Week during its monthly meeting at Shaw Avenue Elementary School. 

Under the direction of music teacher Ms. Stephanie Fischer, third graders performed a medley of songs in the school’s auditorium to thank the board for supporting its students and staff members. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Roxanne Garcia-France commended each board member for their efforts in the Valley Stream school community. 

“Our board has always supported our vision, our core beliefs, and how we truly believe in 21st-century learning,” Dr. Garcia-France said. “They’ve all helped to prepare our students to be ready and competitive in the workforce and any decisions that they choose.”  

The board was also recognized for their ability to coordinate with district leaders and community members to ensure that goals, resources and the district’s decision-making process are transparent to everyone in the school community. 

The district would like to thank all of the board members for their dedication to the community.
