Lindy Schools Honor Nassau BOCES Student Taylor Mammina

A Lindenhurst student who attends Nassau BOCES was honored at the most recent Lindenhurst Board of Education Community Forum.

Taylor Mammina received a certificate of honor from the Lindenhurst School District after Superintendent Richard Nathan learned Mammina will be receiving the George Farber Outstanding Student Award from the superintendent of the Nassau County BOCES program, Tom Rogers.

Mammina will receive the award on April 25 in a ceremony at the Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts in Syosset, according to Nathan.

Created in 2007 as part of the agency's 40th anniversary celebrations, the award program is named for a former Nassau BOCES Board president, who served from 1971 to 2009.

Since then each year the BOCES award is given to students in the program not only for their academic achivements, but who also exhibit perseverance, enthusiasm and willingness to help others.

Nathan said he received a glowing letter from Rogers about Mammina underlining his "talent and good character" and about the award he'll be receiving.

After receiving the letter Nathan said he "wanted people to know about Taylor."
