Connetquot Educators Honored
by State Senator Caesar Trunzo
The Connetquot Teachers Association
(CTA) was recently notified that three members of
the association had been singled out by Senator Caesar
Trunzo (R-Brentwood) as outstanding teachers. As part
of the National Teacher Day celebration Trunzo awarded
Certificates of Appreciation to Ms. Jane Murphy (Edith
L. Slocum School), Ms. Carol Pustay (Idle Hour School)
and Mrs. Agnes Gaeta (District Mentor - Connetquot
HS).
Jane Murphy is the Literacy Collaborative Coordinator
for the Edith L. Slocum Elementary School. She is
also a mentor to her fellow K - 2 colleagues and provides
in-house teacher workshops. Jane's dedication has
made her a role model to other Connetquot educators.
Carol Pustay is a reading teacher at the Idle Hour
School. Her dedication goes a long way towards helping
the Idle Hour School maintain it's title as a Suffolk
Honors School. Carol coordinates all of the NY State
Assessments and Evaluations, serves as a building
mentor and has earned the respect of all those who
meet her.
Agnes Gaeta is the District Mentor for the Connetquot
School District. Agnes began her teaching career at
Holy Trinity HS in Hicksville in 1972. She moved to
the Connetquot School District as an English teacher
in 1979. As the District Mentor since 2004 Ms. Gaeta
has worked with the newest teachers in the district,
providing encouragement and sharing her extensive
experience as a classroom teacher.
The CTA congratulates Jane Murphy, Carol Pustay and
Agnes Gaeta for having been honored by Senator Trunzo
as Outstanding Educators in 2008. These professionals
are role models for all Connetquot teachers, and a
source of pride for the membership of the Connetquot
Teachers Association.
