Five Sayville High School students, who participated in the R.I.S.E. program, had gathered in the classroom on January 7, 2015 to hear the noontime news, when the names of the Intel Semifi nalists would be announced. Each of the fi ve had done signifi cant in-depth research that qualifi ed them for consideration in the prestigious competition. However, only three hundred of the 1,400 national submissions would be selected.

Th e Sayville students (Nick Cowan, Emily Faughnan, Olivia Kaczmarek, Allison Murphy, Shreeya Panigrahi), along with their Research Teacher Maria Brown, Team Teachers Janet Kaczmarek (GIS) and Rick Caskey (R.I.S.E. Tech), Science Chairperson Jennifer Byrnes, Sayville Superintendent Walter Schartner, Principal Ron Hoff er, and other research students, waited in hopeful anticipation.

Who, if any, among them might be an Intel Science Talent Search 2015 semifi nalist?When the national news fi nally broke, congratulations were in order for two Sayville students,

Nicholas Cowan and Emily Faughnan, who were chosen for their research projects using Geospatial Modeling tools (see the district website for details).

Twenty-one High School students were recognized at the Fall 2014 Breakfast of Champions for consistently demonstrating exemplary character.

Welcoming the honorees and their families, Assistant Principal Jillian Makris spoke about the students: “Some have superior academic performance, some athletic ability, and others a unique gift in the arts and music fi eld. And no doubt there are many students here that have a combination of all of those, but they were invited here this morning to celebrate the one true trait that they all share in common—character! And while talent is a gift, character is a choice.”

Th ese students, nominated by Sayville High School teachers and staff , demonstrated positive conduct that included kindness, motivation, compassion, enthusiasm, diligence, and good citizenship beyond the classroom or athletic fi eld or for achieving their personal best by striving to overcome major obstacles. Th ey have provided the essential components for a successful High School Community. Each student received a Breakfast of Champions certifi cate and plaque created with their portrait on a Wheaties Box background.

A satisfying breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, bagels, and pancakes along with assorted beverages, donated by Lovin’ Oven’s - 21 Main Restaurant, West Sayville, completed the heartwarming ceremony. Special thanks go to Assistant Principal Jillian Makris who organized and hosted the morning ceremony, the technology department for making the plaques, and Mr. Ari Kramer and his chamber students who provided the soothing musical ambiance. Congratulations, Alyssa Jackson, Alyssa Klassert, Andrew Deutsch, Anthony Vetere, Conor Riccomini, Daniel Palumbo, Dea Ahlgrim, Emma Philbin, Jamie O’Connor, Julia Lyons, Kara Intermesoli, Kevin O’Halloran, Liam Haber, Mark Doucet, Matthew Laskowitz, Nicholas Cowan, Nicole Sgroi, Salvatore Prevosto, Shaun Keane, Shreeya Panigrahi, &Tara Litvin.

Also, congratulations to the following students who earned All-County and who performed at the Division Four NYSCAME 2013 All-County Festival in November. Band: Chrissy Malone, Liam Harrison, Joe Cunningham, Amanda Minutello, Emily Faughnan; Orchestra: Matthew McGrath, Nick Burkel, Shreeya Panigrahi; Chorus: Tim Costorf, Meghan Gunther, Alex Sneddon, Jake Vail, Savannah Votino, Jillian Brudi, Alyssa LoFaro

As the saying goes: “you can’t take it with you,” but Sayville audiences were certainly overtaken by laughter during the recent Sayville Players Fall production of You Can’t Take It With You, and for good reason. While the Pulitzer-Prize winning play was written in 1936, its comic appeal remains timeless. Who couldn’t understand the basic boy-meets-girl/fall-in-love story that fuses two incompatible families with hilarious consequences?

In the Sayville Players Fall production, the talented troupe delivered jokes, written in the 1930s, with the right comic spin to make them work in 2014. Congratulations to ALL the Players for another fi ne production. (GO TO TIDINGS ONLINE FOR MORE.)

The WIZ!The WIZ! Sayville Middle School Music Department’s presentation

of Th e WIZ was nothing short of magical, from the fanciful costumes, high-tech special eff ects, entertaining acting, and especially to the amazing voices. Originally launched in 1974, Th e WIZ was the familiar story of Dorothy’s trip to Oz, retold with soul, along with new music and story adaptations. Forty years later, after numerous national tours and Broadway revivals, its legacy remains in such popular songs as Ease On Down the Road, Believe in Yourself, Y’All Got It, and Soon As I Get Home.

Upholding Sayville Middle School’s exceptional reputation for remarkable Musical productions, Th e WIZ was a crowd-pleaser. Th e costumes alone appealed to every Wizard of Oz

fan, but the wizardry behind the animated sequences—inserts of Eighth-grader Alex Pittari as the Wizard appears to sail off in the hot air balloon, and the good witches, Kaitlyn Maher and Allison Lynn, also are seen waving gracefully as they fl oat away in a magical bubble—immensely impressed audiences of all ages. (“How did they do that?” a youngster whispered out loud in awe one night, echoing the quieter thoughts of nearby adults. Credit

goes to High School Junior and animator Sean McNally, who used video-game-maker software for the eff ect.)

While live theatre often has challenging moments that might seem like cyclones descending on Kansas cornfi elds, the cast and crew weathered through such unexpected twists (microphone woes, digital glitches, and a sick lead performer) with professionalism and talent, pulling off an ovation-worthy production every night.

In the end, when all of Oz retreated somewhere over a rainbow, Sam LoGrippo’s Dorothy fi nished with a powerful reprise of Home that was so satisfying, audiences sighed, feeling the joy of reunion for all matters of home and hearth, along with heartfelt hugs for Toto, too.

Th ere was no great sorcery involved in producing Sayville’s Middle School musical; rather, it was the product of tremendous hard work and dedication by the directors, producers, and stage crew behind the scenes who, along with the amazing cast, should be congratulated.

Nothing Short of Magical Nothing Short of Magical at the Middle Schoolat the Middle School

(lbelow left) Sam LoGrippo maintained perfect character as spunky Dorothy, while her beautiful voice, as powerful as the gale force winds, transported audiences to believe Dorothy “would be alright” even before getting back “home.”

(above right) As Scarecrow in search of a brain, Jonathan Nolan’s high-energy witticisms, comic

timing, and physicality imbued life into the bumbling bag of straw who learns to think on his feet.

(right) Evan Powers, the upended trash barrel of a Tin Man, gave

a cast iron performance as the re-formed woodsman who, even

without a heart, protects and defends his companions with

emotional intensity.(left) Cowardly Lion was every bit the center of attention. Shaun Gibbons embraced the role with gusto, musicality, and showmanship that made him a lively, hilarious, and memorable presence –fun to watch in every scene.

(above) Witches Addaperle (Kaitlyn Maher), Glinda (Allison Lynn), and Evillene (Christina LaFroscia) may have made brief appearances in character, but the young ladies played their small parts in a big way.

about The Feelings We Once Had.

Appearances by Uncle Henry/Lord High Underling (Alex Maksimiak), Messenger (Matthew Zender), Gatekeeper (Adele Micelli), Toto (Cooper McNally) along with the Munchkins, Mice

from the Mice Squad, Tornadoes, Crows, Yellow Brick Road, Poppies, Kalidahs, Trees, and ensemble cast fi lled the mystical world that would fi nally fade like a dream once Dorothy clicked her silver slippers three times.

Each August, Sayville School District receives notifi cation from the Town of Islip** regarding the Base Allocations for Homestead and NonHomestead properties in Sayville, as well as the Assessed Valuations. With these fi gures, the Sayville Board of Education and the School District must determine the tax rate for the upcoming school year.

Based upon this year’s shift between Homestead and NonHomestead Base Allocations, the Sayville School tax rate will see an increase of 0.83% above the 1.22% increase that was originally projected in June of 2014. Th is 2.05% tax-rate increase translates—for the Homestead Properties (before S.T.A.R. exemptions)—into $150 increase for the year or $12.50 a month for the average home assessment of $40K. Th is means that the Homestead tax rate for the 2014-2015 School year is $18.72 per $100 of assessed valuation.

Th ere is relief for Downtown Sayville, which is a vital component in our community. A shift from the NonHomestead Properties this year has resulted in a tax-rate DECREASE (the second decrease in two years) of 0.72% (last year it was 0.24%), which will assist in keeping our local businesses viable as the economic

climate recovers.Sayville School District thanks the

community for your continued support and encourages residents to get involved and be informed by attending the Board of Education Meetings and other district functions.

Please check the district online calendar for details.

Also, you may contact Assistant Superintendent for Business John Belmonte at 244-6530 if you have questions regarding the upcoming budget process.

A Tax-Rate Decrease of .72% Gives Needed Relief To Downtown Sayville Businesses

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE THIS REQUEST MUST BE FILED FOR EACH SCHOOL YEAR.

Requests for transportation to private and parochial schools and childcare locations (i.e., LEAP, New Life, In-Home) must be fi led by April 1st and forwarded to:

SAYVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, TRANSPORTATION OFFICE, 99 Greeley Avenue, Sayville, NY 11782Forms can be found on the Sayville Public School website www.sayvilleschools.org under Transportation.Transportation is provided to in-district and out-of-district schools to a maximum of 15 miles. State statutes and a referendum of Sayville voters have set this limitation.

Please keep in mind that Sayville residents who were eligible for the Governor’s New

Tax-Rebate Program will benefit with a rebate

equal to the calculated school tax-rate increase, because the budget that

was approved by the voters in June remained under the Tax Cap Levy.

**Each year, the Town of Islip determines the taxable assessment or “Assessed Valuation” of all properties in Sayville and also provides the “Base Allocation” fi gure that represents the percentage of Homestead (Residential) and NonHomestead (Business) properties within the District. These values change annually based upon such things as the number of homes sold, new homes built, developed properties throughout the year, and Tax CERTs (adjustments to home owners’ tax rates). School districts receive this information in August and use it to set the tax rate.

Sayville Board of Education the VETERANS’ EXEMPTION

At a well-attended Public Hearing, Assistant Superintendent John Belmonte thoroughly outlined the Veterans’ Exemption and the resulting “tax shift” to the non-exempt homestead property owners. (Check the Business Offi ce page of the Website for details about the Veterans’ Exemption.) Th e following was discussed at the Hearing before the exemption was approved.

• Using the 2014-15 data provided by the Assessor’s Offi ce, there are currently a total of 773 Alternative & Eligible Funds Veterans within the District;• Adopting the State Basic Max Level would shift approximately $1,690,000 in taxable properties to exempt properties;• A homeowner would see an increase of approximately $0.14 per $100 of assessed value;• A homeowner with an average assessed home of $40,000 would see an increase of approximately $56 per year.*

*$56/year is the maximum shift to the tax rate, based on all 773. In all likelihood, the actual shift to other non-veteran taxpayers will be less than the $56 year, because all identifi ed properties may not be eligible for the new alternative exemptions.

The Sayville BOE has decided to go forward and present to the community—for voter approval in May—a Bond Referendum of $19.2 million that would fund energy effi ciencies, maintenance items, safety, ADA, parking, a turf fi eld on Depot Road, and enhancements to upgrade district facilities.

The public will be invited to learn the details about this Bond proposal, well before the May vote. Sayville BOE and District will be holding community meetings. Although, at the time of this printing, those dates have not been decided, please check the District website/facebook/parent portal regularly for updates, as well as for announcements in the mail.

It was quite early on an energized Saturday morning in October when 304 Sayville students (up from last year’s 255) joined either the Fun Run (for grades K-1) or the Second Annual Duathlon (for grades 2-5).

Similar to last year, the youngest participants of the Fun Run were off fi rst, circling the entire Lincoln Avenue fi eld, a distance of ½ mile. Th e “Run – Bike – Run” followed immediately. First participants were the Fifth-grade boys, who sprang into action as soon as they heard the “go” signal. One minute later, the Fifth-grade girls followed, and the succession continued for each grade and gender until all the entrants were off and running.

After completing the fi rst circuit around Lincoln Avenue fi elds, the “Duathletes” grabbed their bikes for the second part: a 2.5-mile ride on a designated route in the Lincoln Avenue vicinity with an escort provided by the Sayville Fire Department. Once the bikers returned to the Lincoln Avenue School, they corralled their bikes and took the fi nal 1/2–mile run around the fi eld, crossing the offi cial fi nish line in their personal best time.

With special thanks, the Duathlon organizers would like to acknowledge the T-shirt sponsors: Gold—Sayville Running Company, Sal’s Pizzeria, Sayville Teachers Association, STAT Health, Grady Animal Hospital, Sweet Gourmet; Silver—South Shore Abstract; and Bronze—Sayville Association of School Administrators, Island Industrial Boiler, Inc., and Michael P.
