It is with great pride that I announce that the Willets Road School has been officially designated a United States Department of Education 2011 Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. The U.S.D.E. has named 284 schools, 255 public and 29 private nationwide, as Blue Ribbon recipients. We are one of 19 schools in the state of New York to receive this honor. This coveted award is truly one of the top honors a public school can be granted.
Throughout the years our school has provided its students with a truly exceptional educational experience. This award serves as a tribute to the staff members, students, and families both past and present that have worked tirelessly to maintain the standard of excellence that is the Willets Road School.
Over the next several weeks we will spread the word of our accomplishment. On November 14th and 15th I will be attending the National Blue Ribbon Awards Ceremony in Washington D.C. to receive our official Blue Ribbon award. Following my return from Washington, we will have a school-wide celebration in the spirit of academic excellence and SPARK to recognize this tremendous achievement that we have earned.
On behalf of the Willets Road faculty and staff we thank you and your children for making the WIllets Road School such a wonderful place to teach and learn.
