Lindenhurst Volleyball Hosts Teacher Appreciation Event

The Lindenhurst Girls Varsity Volleyball team, led by Coach Kait Williams, hosted a teacher appreciation event during a match this month.

Members of the team invited a teacher who the athletes themselves described as having ” had a significant impact on their time here at Lindenhurst High School!”
Before the match, each teacher was announced, the athlete gave them a rose, and they were escorted onto the court to be thanked and honored by the crowd.
It was a very touching tribute to the impact teachers have on the lives of students and athletes.
Lindy won the match, 3-0, to cap off a memorable day.
