Better Beginnings Award:

John Bailey, music and band teacher at Lyndonville Elementary School, was selected as the 2017 Better Beginnings Award recipient after consideration of nominations submitted from across the State. The Better Beginnings Award, which is sponsored by the Board of Regents, recognizes elementary teachers who are skilled at engaging young minds and developing nurturing relationships with elementary school students.

Mr. Bailey is very active within the community, modeling for students the importance of giving back. Recently, when a homeless student moved out of the district, he made arrangements with the student鈥檚 new district for the student to have an instrument so the student could continue playing.

A prize of $1,000 and a plaque of recognition will be presented to Mr. Bailey during a school concert held at Lyndonville Elementary School on June 15.

Runners-up for the award were Ms. Sabrina Dolfinger, a second-grade teacher at Horizons on the Hudson Magnet School in Newburgh and Ms. Ellen Lockman, a special education co-teacher and Resource Room teacher at Munsey Park Elementary School in Manhasset. They will each receive $250.
