Patrick Day Scholarship
I wish to announce I just received notification from the Freeport School Board ( Ms Emma Perdamo ) that our scholarship application was unanimously approved and was accepted last night by the Freeport Superintendent of Schools. This scholarship will be called The Patrick Day Sports Achievement Award sponsored by Ring 8/NY. This award will be presented at the upcoming Medal and Awards Night and will go to an a honor student who is active in sports . This award will be for a sum of $500.00 per for the next 5 years and the recipient will be chosen by Freeport High School Administrators & Teachers . Ring 8 has pledge to reevaluating this scholarship another 5 years ( 6th thru 10 year) in the hope of maintaining this worthy cause.
Again I think a special thanks should go to then president Charley Norkus and the Board members who unanimously approved of this endeavor
.
On a special note The Administrator and several teachers were taken back by Ring 8 generosity in remembering as they put it one the most respected and mild mannered and well liked students of Freeport H.S and how Patrick (, A NYC Golden Golden Glove champion , a member of the US Olympic Team( Alternate ), & WBC Continental Champion ) always lead by example .both in and out of school as well as in and out of the Ring.
