The Garden of Dreams Foundation made a dream come true on Jan. 26 for East Quogue student Hunter Gladding and his family. They were warmly welcomed by the New York Rangers to attend a game and had the unique opportunity to meet the professional athletes and enjoy many in-game experiences. The Gladding family was also invited into the broadcaster’s booth and suite where Hunter was presented with his very own Gladding jersey by a Rangers alumnus.

Hunter and his family had a magical experience that they will cherish forever. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Garden of Dreams Foundation for making this unforgettable experience possible. Their dedication to bringing life-changing opportunities to young people in need is truly commendable.

Students Lucas Fiore and Reid Larsen were honored for their winning and powerful Patriot’s Pen Award essays, presented on Jan. 23 at the Westhampton Beach VFW Post 5350 Voice of Democracy and Patriot Pen Awards ceremony.    

Hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Patriot’s Pen contest for students in grades 6-8 requires entrants to write a 300-400 word essay which explores the year’s current theme. The theme for 2024-2025 is “My Voice in America’s Democracy,” and students were encouraged to explore the concept of an individual’s voice within the country’s democratic system of government. 

Superintendent of Schools and Principal Michael Miller said, “Congratulations to both students, and a special thank you to teacher George Purkis for his dedication to inspiring students to reach their fullest potential.”
