Lexi Willets, a member of the William Floyd High School graduating Class of 2017, recently took second place in the FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) National competition in the fast-paced “Client Services” category, which involves resolving a customer issue in a specific scenario in a timely manner. She also took first place in the New York State competition this past April.

Lexi competed in three rounds before the final scenario which involved assisting a customer calling into an emergency helpline following a hurricane. Under pressure, Lexi skillfully appeased the caller and resolved the issues and concerns. “She was able to think quickly and handle the emergency with compassion and composure,” said Lee Cillo, William Floyd business teacher and FBLA co-advisor along with fellow business teacher Kristin Puric. “This is what makes Lexi stand out and do so well with any scenario she is faced with. She is an exceptional young lady.”

Lexi will be attending Queens University of Charlotte, NC, in the fall, where she will be studying business management.

Lexi was one of only approximately 9,600 of America’s best and brightest high school students who traveled to Anaheim, CA, for this four-day conference. Participants from across the United States and abroad attended this exciting conference to enhance their business skills, expand their networks, and participate in more than 70 business and business-related competitive events.

The award was part of a comprehensive national competitive events program sponsored by FBLA-PBL that recognizes and rewards excellence in a broad range of business and career-related areas. For many students, the competitive events are the capstone activity of their academic careers. In addition to competitions, students immersed themselves in interactive workshops, visited an information-packed exhibit hall, and heard from motivational speakers on a broad range of business topics.

William Floyd Board of Education President Robert Vecchio was recently tapped by Dr. Joseph Lemke, a lecturer at LIU Post and Director of Social Studies in the Bay Shore School District, to speak to his “Multiple Perspectives on Educational Policy Analysis and the History of Educational Reform” class in the university’s Doctor of Education Program. Mr. Vecchio spoke on the topic of local governance and the media’s influence on education.

“I enjoyed talking to current and future school leaders about the issues we face in public education,” said Mr. Vecchio. “We discussed what is going well and, just as important, where there is room for growth in our system throughout New York State.”

Dr. Lemke noted that student feedback from Mr. Vecchio’s visit was very positive. “They were quite inspired by his knowledge of the issues, as well as his passion and dedication.”

Mr. Vecchio, a 25-year resident of the William Floyd School District, just completed his 14th year of board service (first elected in 2003). He has served as president of the Board of Education since 2006 and continues to provide strong board leadership. Throughout his tenure, the district is experiencing an upward trajectory including a graduation rate that has increased by 20 percentage points in the past 11 years. He, along with his Board colleagues, successfully championed many new and innovative programs such as the in-house Career and Technical Education program, the creation of the on-site William Floyd Family Center, and successfully navigated the district through the recession with fiscally smart and responsible oversight and budgeting. Mr. Vecchio also spearheaded the creation of the first Brookhaven Town chapter of “Our Community Salutes,” a program that recognizes high school seniors who have committed to serve in the Armed Forces after graduation.

Additionally, Mr. Vecchio hosts a weekly radio show, “Spotlight on LI Schools,” on LI News Radio 103.9, showcasing all of the great things happening in schools across Long Island. He is also the first recipient of the New York State School Board Association’s “Champion for Change” award in 2015, which went toward a “champion for children who fosters creative change that enriches educational opportunities and inspires other school board members to make similar or even greater contributions.”

Two WFHS Educators Selected as Advanced Placement Scorers

William Floyd High School teachers Patricia Costell (left) and Kristen Drury were chosen as AP Readers.

Two William Floyd teachers – Kristen Drury (chemistry) and Patricia Costell (social studies) – were selected to participate in College Board’s annual Advanced Placement (AP) Reading for the AP Chemistry and AP World History examinations, respectively. Each June, AP teachers and college faculty members from around the world gather to evaluate and score free-response sections of AP exams.

“We both had an amazing time learning how the exam is handled and graded,” said Ms. Drury. “We met so many new teachers and professors with whom we were able to share ideas and content knowledge.”

AP Readers are high school and college educators who represent many of the world’s leading academic institutions. AP Reading is a unique forum in which an academic dialogue between educators is both fostered and encouraged. “It draws upon the talents of some of the finest teachers and professors that the world has to offer,” said Trevor Packer, Senior Vice President, AP and Instruction at the College Board. “It fosters professionalism, allows for the exchange of ideas, and strengthens the commitment to students and to teaching. We are very grateful for the contributions of talented educators like Kristen Drury and Patricia Costell.”

The Advanced Placement Program enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies – with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement or both – while still in high school. Students participating in AP courses learn to analyze complex problems, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue – skills that prepare them for college and beyond.

William Floyd currently offers numerous AP courses including Advanced Art, Physics B, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, Macroeconomics, Music Theory 3, Spanish Language and Culture, U.S. Government & Politics, U.S. History, World History and beginning this September, Computer Science.

Educators who are selected as AP Readers receive a small stipend, expenses, lodging and meals provided by College Board.

HS Students Participate in Protein Crystallography Class at BNL

Asma Asghar and her science teacher Ms. Victoria D’Ambrosia work with Dr. Alex Soares at BNL.

Two William Floyd High School rising seniors, Asma Asghar and Christian Meehan, along with their science research teacher Victoria D’Ambrosia, had the opportunity this summer to participate in a protein crystallography class, Exploring proteins with a New Light, at Brookhaven National Laboratory with several BNL scientists and a handful of students and research teachers from other districts. Students participated in an intense hands-on learning experience focused on biochemistry and the physics of synchrotrons and beamlines.

HS Students Participate in Protein Crystallography Class at BNL

Asma Asghar and Christian Meehan work together during a protein crystallography class at BNL.

During the class, students grew crystals from Protenase K and Lysozyme. The first protein is able to digest hair (keratin) while the second found in the white of the egg can cause the lysis of bacterial cell walls. The crystals were exposed to X-ray light at the AMX (Highly Automated Macromolecular Crystallography) and the FMX (Frontier Microfocusing Macromolecular Crystallography) beamlines, which provided the opportunity to examine the three-dimensional structures of the proteins.

“The students and I had an incredible learning experience,” said Ms. D’Ambrosia. “All three of us are excited to submit protein crystallography proposals and continue our work with Brookhaven National Laboratory.”

Additionally, Ms. D’Ambrosia, along with fellow science teacher Anya Swiss, had two of their proposals approved and beamtime allotted for upcoming projects in the fall. Thanks to this approval, students will now have the opportunity to analyze heavy metals in both sediments and those bioaccumulating in arachnids. The teachers are also working on submitting two more proposals – to analyze heavy metals in shark tissues and chemical imaging of the skin/cartilage of sharks. The goal of this project is to analyze the various components/structures within at least seven different shark species off of Long Island.

Special thanks to BNL scientists Dr. Alex Soares, Dr. Seetharaman Jayaraman, Dr. Vivian Stojanoff, Dr. Aleida Perez and Dr. Paul Northrup who worked with the students and their teachers on this project.

Remembering Former Trustee Therese Kaniecki

The William Floyd School District is saddened to hear of the passing of Mary Therese Kaniecki (nee O’Shea), who served as a trustee on the William Floyd Board of Education from 1974-1980.

Therese Kaniecki, 90, a 59-year Mastic Beach resident, still lived in the same home she purchased with her husband, Edward, and raised their seven children together. She graduated from Cathedral High School in Manhattan and attended college at Fordham University, receiving her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in social work.

Therese’s daughter, Cecile Prevete, described her mother as an “amazing” and “community-oriented” woman who was instrumental in spearheading the formation of Colonial Youth & Family Services, as well as bringing the Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Library to the community. She served as president of various school PTOs for many years before serving as a trustee on the William Floyd Board of Education. She was also responsible for a newsletter in which she and fellow community members, with help from her children, wrote articles about things happening in our schools and community.

William Floyd Board of Education Vice President Jeananne Dawson, who joined the Board shortly after Mrs. Kaniecki’s tenure ended, reflected on Therese, whom she thought of as a mentor and friend.

“Therese’s commitment to the William Floyd School District as a school board member will never be forgotten,” said Mrs. Dawson. “She was the rock that brought all the new young residents of the district together. With her leadership we laid the foundation for what William Floyd is today. She took me under her wings and I will never forget her. I often think of her when I am sitting at the board table.”

Therese is survived by her seven children, Gerardine Panuthos, Cecile Prevete, Alexandra Kaniecki, Maria Migliara, Madalyn Buck, Paul Kaniecki and Kristina Snow, as well as 13 grandchildren, three great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many friends.

The family will hold a special mass for her and is discussing a memorial ceremony. As per Board of Education policy, districts flags have been lowered to half-staff in her honor.
