Dear Uniondale Community, As we are painfully aware, on Thursday, the Farmingdale School District lost two beloved members of their school community in a tragic bus accident that also injured several students. Our hearts go out to their families, friends, colleagues and the entire school district during this incredibly difficult time. In times of grief, it's important for us to come together as a community and lean on one another for support. We want our friends and neighbors in the Farmingdale School District to know that we stand with them today and during the difficult days ahead. With this in mind, I would like to ask all students and staff to wear green on Tuesday, September 26th. The color green represents hope, growth, and renewal, and by wearing it, we can stand together with Farmingdale as they navigate this difficult chapter. This simple gesture speaks volumes about our empathy, unity, and the compassion we have for one another. It is a way for our students to extend their heartfelt support to our friends in Farmingdale, letting them know that we are here, and we care deeply and we will continue to support them in their journey toward healing. Thank you. Sincerely, Monique Darrisaw-Akil, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools Uniondale UFSD
