This document is used by the entire school community: parents, district and school administrators, teachers, staff, and residents. Creating the document requires coordination of hundreds of events each year – a feat accomplished by a single point person – the past President of the GC PTA. As the immediate past president, Mrs. Michelle Kaiserman served as the PTA’s 2018-2019 Calendar Coordinator, managing the input of over 500 district and school events. Dates, times, locations, and event titles all needed to be checked, double-checked, and triple-checked. A daunting task, to be sure, but Mrs. Kaiserman did a wonderful job. Many thanks to the GC PTA and to Mrs. Kaiserman! One additional responsibility for Mrs. Kaiserman involved the most visible part of the annual calendar – the cover design.For the past five years, the annual calendar has included a cover designed by a high school art student. In the spring of 2018, Garden City High School juniors in Mr. Shawn Uttendorfer’s art classes were presented with the opportunity to submit designs for the cover. Finalists’ designs selected by Mr. Uttendorfer were then forwarded to Mrs. Kaiserman to be anonymously uploaded to a website where voters – the Board of Education, PTA Executive Committee, and district and school administrators – were invited to view and select just one. This year, seven students’ designs were selected as Finalists: Bridget Anderson, Hannah Hwang, Amanda Melkonian, Emily Olenik, Anna Paisley, Emma Rubino, and Alexandra Stefanik. The design by Emily Olenik received the highest number of online votes. These outstanding students were honored by Superintendent Dr. Sinha and the Board of Education at the September 12th Board of Education Regular Meeting. Pictured here at the Board meeting with a large display of all Finalists’ cover designs are (left to right): President Angela Heineman, PTA Calendar Coordinator Michelle Kaiserman, Emma Rubino, Anna Paisley, Hannah Hwang, Bridget Anderson, Amanda Melkonian, Emily Olenik, Alexandra Stefanik, District Coordinator of Music & the Arts Dr. Nina Prasso, and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha.Congratulations to our outstandingly talented art students!! ................
