Sayville Athletes Take a Plunge for a Good Cause

Club's polar plunge raised money for Special Olympics and took first place.

Sayville students who are members of Athletes Helping Others participated in their second annual Polar Plunge in mid December at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai and raised over $6,400 to support Special Olympics Athletes.

In addition—for a second year in a row—Sayville took first place.

After their courageous plunge, “the kids were able to enjoy the ‘VIP’ tent reserved for the top three teams,” explained Suzanne Hoss who along with her husband Rob Hoss are AHO coadvisors.

The students were served food in the VIP tent which “housed two hot tubs for the plungers to enjoy. What a great day! We were ‘freezin' for a reason.””

Congratulations to the following participants:

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.

It's a drive-through bank.

I heard it was a bank some time ago, but I can't imagine which bank would run a construction projectRead More so poorly.
