Jennie Riegler, of Plainview and Richard Haunss, of Syosset, both have family members who suffer from the disease, and are on a mission to

Grishman said “In my entire career of working in school districts, I’ve never seen shortages like this, where food items were in short supply.” He noted that districts larger than Jericho, such as Brentwood in Suffolk County, are more dramatically affected than smaller districts such as Jericho. Brentwood serves more than eight thousand breakfasts and eleven thousand lunches a day to students and has reported shortages.

Your child may notice we are serving different items than we have served in the past and we may also be forced to serve different items than were listed on the
94-year-old Bert Jablon (left) is congratulated by Oyster Bay Town Clerk Richard LaMarca (right).
Special congratulations to veteran Syosset athlete Bert Jablon, who took first place in the 90 and over age group in the October 16th Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor’s 5 Kilometer Run. Jablon covered the 3.107-mile course through the roads of Oyster Bay hamlet in 56 minutes, 36 seconds. “Bert’s continued ability to run – and run well! – in road races at age 94 is nothing short of amazing,” said Greater Long Island Running Club Vice President Mindy Davidson, who served as the coordinator of volunteers for the event. “He is a great athlete and should serve as an inspiration to all of us.”
