  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to  commend  those
illustrious organizations of the State of New York who have made stellar
efforts  on  behalf  of  the  young persons of this great State, namely,
those  who  work  to  ensure  a  fulfilling  and  enriching  educational
experience for all; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commend  the  Ed.  Foundation  upon  the  occasion  of  hosting  its "An
Enchanted Evening" Gala on Friday, April 5, 2024,  at  the  North  Hills
Country Club in Manhasset, New York; and

  WHEREAS,   The   Ed.   Foundation   is  an  independent,  nonprofit,
community-based organization which was founded  to  support  initiatives
that  are  beyond  basic  educational  needs  and  to enhance and expand
educational opportunities for all students in the Port Washington  Union
Free  School  District; the foundation actively seeks donations, grants,
and government funding for the purpose of  distributing  such  funds  to
selected  programs  and  resources to the benefit of the communities and
organizations which it serves; and

  WHEREAS, The esteemed honorees of  this  year's  gala  are  the  Ed.
Foundation's  Parent  Partner Organizations: Parents' Council, Schreiber
HSA, Weber HSA, Daly NSA, Guggenheim HSA,  Manorhaven  PTA,  Salem  HSA,
Sousa   HSA,  AGATE,  and  SEPTA;  these  groups  are  all  parent-based
organizations dedicated to providing the school district's students  the
best education possible through financial investment and advocacy; and

  WHEREAS,   Parents'   Council  is  the  coordinating  board  of  the
district's individual school PTAs and HSAs; the council seeks to explore
and reach consensus on issues and topics of general concern; its goal is
to work for the welfare of the entire district; and

  WHEREAS, The individual school HSA/PTA organizations share the  same
mission  to  bring  both  home  and  school together to promote the best
educational  opportunities  for  Port   Washington   students;   through
school-based  fundraisers,  each  organization strives to bring exciting
educational opportunities in the form of equipment  and  programming  to
their student bodies; and

  WHEREAS,  The  Special  Education Parent Teacher Association (SEPTA)
exists to address the needs of children in special  education  programs,
both  in  and out of the school district; its goals are to keep parents,
teachers, and other related personnel informed of issues and changes  in
programs, and to promote better awareness of Special Education; and

  WHEREAS, AGATE is a home-school association that works with parents,
teachers,  administrators,  and  other organizations to advocate for the
unique needs of diverse gifted students and other advanced learners from

pre-kindergarten through graduation; AGATE believes all students deserve
an appropriate and challenging education designed to help  them  achieve
their fullest potential; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense of this Legislative Body that those who
work  diligently  to  enhance  the  well-being  and  vitality  of  their
community  and  have shown a long and sustained commitment to excellence
certainly have earned the recognition and applause of all  the  citizens
of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend the  Ed.  Foundation  upon  the  occasion  of  hosting  its  "An
Enchanted Evening" Gala on April 5, 2024; and be it further
