Meet This Week's Whiz Kid: Mackenzie Burns

Meet Sayville's younger generation in this weekly column.

This week’s Whiz Kid is Mackenzie Burns. Middle School principal Thomas Murray nominated Mackenzie for his honor based on her community service.

According to Murray, “Mackenzie has volunteered her time at the Cherry Avenue PTA Family Fun Night, Making Strides for Breast Cancer Walk at Jones Beach, West Sayville Fire Department, Girls Scouts of America, Sayville Youth Lacrosse Picnic, worked at a yard sale to raise money to ship books to Native American Reservation in North Dakota. Mackenzie has dedicated her time to help assist many organizations in our community. She is always willing to help, greets everybody with a smile, and is kind to all.”
