Deadline Hits for Deck Your House Contest

Finalists will be chosen and you will be able to vote for your favorite on Dec. 30.

 

Imagine being able to take out your checkbook and with a few scratches of your pen, do the following for Syosset schools:

  • Save the positions for two full time teachers for an entire school year, with money leftover for teacher aids.

  • Pay for Syosset High School commencement ceremonies... for the next three years. 

  • Pay for almost all the new textbooks required by every single Syosset elementary school student for an entire year.

  • Employ a social worker for a year with enough leftover to hire a lifeguard for the pool.
