“Sameer and Susan have achieved something truly special, and we could not be prouder to have them represent Amityville on the statewide stage,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Gina Talbert said. “Their selection reflects their talent, but it also represents countless hours of preparation, perseverance, and dedication to their craft. Opportunities like this demonstrate the importance of the arts in helping our student scholars discover their talents, develop confidence, and pursue excellence. Congratulations to Sameer, Susan, and the educators who have supported and encouraged them along the way.”
