Speaking to more than 200 delegates and guests at the Louisiana Federation of Teachers’ 50th Annual Convention, LFT President Steve Monaghan called for reclaiming the promise of public education and returning the joy to teaching and learning.

In a rousing keynote address to more than 200 convention delegates and guests, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten declared the union’s political action essential to the future of public education.

This time of year brings additional needs for our BOCES students: whether it be Adopt an Angel Programs, Key Club activites, or Boys Town stores and garage sales.  SABEA staff make contributions through out the year but especially now.  To assist with those efforts, a portion of the VOTE COPE contributions that our members give will be going to help.  SSTLC was the first to recieve a check.

As seen in the New Hyde Park Herald, three hundred eleven Herricks faculty and staff all donned blue in honor of the 25th Anniversary of the United Nations' Universal Children's Day.  Our Herricks Teachers' Association donated a dollar for each member who wore blue to the St. Aidan's Food Pantry in Williston Park.  The St. Aidan's Food Pantry helps families of all faiths within the local community.
