Easter Sunday, March 31st

During the month of March, we celebrate Women’s History

Month to recognize and pay tribute to the strong women

who have made significant contributions to our history.

Women have worked hard to change and challenge various

institutions in order to create possibilities for women of the

future. Women have set the bar high for future generations

and laid a foundation for each and every woman to become

a leader in any field or profession she chooses. This year

we will be taking a closer look at women and their role in education. We will be

honoring Assistant Superintendent of the Wyandanch School District. Dr. Mary T.

Jones. Once cited in Newsday as a prototypical educator, Dr. Mary Jones has

literally built her entire education career on that definition. A high energy student

achievement focused and goal driven educator, Dr. Jones approaches each

challenge with an intrinsic flair for innovation, creative problem-solving and

risk-taking to drive consistent bottom-line student growth. Join us for this

fun-filled, entertaining and educational day. Sunday, March 17, 2013, 2:00 pm.

opportunity to serve the residents of the Wyandanch Community. My name is
