Middle School Orchestra teacher Loretta Ehrlich conducts the Seventh Grade Orchestra at the New York State School Boards Association’s Convention. Hauppauge School District is proud to announce that the Middle School’s Seventh Grade Orchestra recently performed at the New York State School Boards Association’s (NYSSBA) 91st Annual Convention in New York City.  Selected from school districts throughout New York State, Hauppauge’s students were the youngest to perform since the convention was established.

Under the guidance of middle school orchestra teacher Loretta Ehrlich, the students performed to a packed audience, including the highest ranking education officials in New York State - the Commissioner of Education and the Chancellor of the Board of Regents.  Also in attendance were New York State board members, superintendents, administrators, and proud members of Hauppauge’s Board of Education.

“The performance by our students was incredible,” said Board of Education President Ann Macaluso. “To hear such beautiful come music from our talented seventh graders is amazing.  We were so proud to see the attending dignitaries give the students a standing ovation. Our students have provided Hauppauge with an opportunity to shine.”

The NYSSBA convention provides numerous workshops for school board members to learn about new initiatives, as well as opportunities to increase knowledge on issues ranging from fiscal accountability to mounting student pressures.
