Breakfast of Champions


Rachael Ali Nominated by Mr. Kramer
A truly devoted musician and citizen, Rachael has participated in
all select music ensembles throughout her high school career and
has excelled in all of them. Her work ethic and dedication landed
Rachael as the String Ensemble’s Concert Master this past year, an
honor that is not easy to come by. She will be dearly missed.

Anna Ambrose Nominated by Mr. Hammer
Anna isn’t waiting until she gets older to make a difference in the
world, she already has. Her tireless volunteering efforts to help
those less fortunate are to be commended. Best of all, she brings
this caring attitude everyday to my class.

Michael AndresNominated by Mr. Shaw
Mike is one of the quiet heroes of the Class of 2010. His diligence,
his willingness to challenge himself and his full participation in all
that our program has to offer students is a model for all Sayville
students to follow. It has been my pleasure to work with Mike this
year, and I wish him great success.

Holly CitenoNominated by Mr. Gittler
Holly is the kindest, most friendly person you could hope to meet.
She brightens my classroom everyday with a positive energy that
is infectious. We are all truly lucky to have her in class. Thanks,
Holly!

Tyler ClairNominated by Ms. Bricker
As vice president of the Interact Club this year, Tyler has consistently
participated in all of our local and global initiatives. His enthusiasm is
contagious and Tyler has motivated his peers to get involved in worthy
causes, such as food drives for local food pantries and bell ringing for
the Salvation Army. Most recently, Tyler delivered several informative
presentations about an indigenous community in Honduras to peers in
foreign language classes to both raise awareness and inspire action.


Jennifer ClintonNominated by Mr. Delargy
Jennifer is kind, warm, sweet on the outside, but fiercely intense
on the inside, especially when it relates to athletics. She also leads
by example and makes everyone around her better.

Melanie Drinkwater Nominated by Mr. Recker
Melanie is a caring and compassionate student who is always
friendly and respectful to her peers, her classmates, and the
faculty and staff in our high school. When she is not busy play-
ing soccer or bowling, Melanie is the treasurer of the freshman
class who will never hesitate to get motivated and to help
organize school events.

Daniel DufrenoyNominated by Ms. Hoss
Anyone who knows Dan Dufrenoy or hears his name cannot help
but smile. He is upbeat, gregarious, and enthusiastic 24 hours a
day 7 days a week. He has the ability to energize a classroom and
he is the chemistry in a class. If I could adopt him and bring him
home I would. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Dufrenoy on
raising an incredible young man.

Jenna Ferremi Nominated by Mr. Hall and Mrs. Hart
Jenna is extremely hard working and conscientious. Jenna has
been the backbone of the History Club this year. In her soft
spoken and humble way, she has continually carried out her duties
as historian. We will miss her greatly.

Tara ImbrendaNominated by Ms. Hoss
Tara is an enthusiastic student who is always eager and ready to
learn. She adds energy and a positive dynamic to class discussions.
She has a wonderful sense of humor and is a well rounded student
who is a great role model for younger kids. I truly enjoy teaching
Tara every day! She is the reason why teachers love to teach!

Casey JarvisNominated by Ms. Bernstein
Casey is industrious, kind and intelligent. These are three
characteristics of a champion in my book. Casey lives those
qualities to the nth degree.
Jaclyn KolleggerNominated by Mr. Kramer
Though probably held in high regards in all her classes, Jackie has
become an indispendable part of the orchestra program. From her
leadership in her section, and her participation in the Sayville
Quartet, to being an officer in the String Ensemble for two years
straight, Jackie is the definition of irreplaceable. Good luck to her
in all future endeavors.




Karley MalenczakNominated by Ms. Hoss
Karley is a mature young woman who is undoubtedly destined for
success in the future. She is conscientious and hardworking. One
of Karley’s most endearing qualities is her modesty. She has so
much to be boastful about, but would never think to talk about her-
self. She is an accomplished athlete and student, but most
importantly she is a kind and sincere friend. She will be sorely
missed in the fall.

Jessica McGuiganNominated by Ms. Malafis
Jessica just started school here this year. She made friends seem-
lessly because she is kind and generous. She is a very intelligent
young woman, but always very helpful. When she helps the other
students, she doesn’t make them feel that she is smarter than them.
Jessica always has a smile on her face and makes the people around
her feel at ease.

Thomas MonahanNominated by Ms. Kremer
Tommy is gregarious, introspective, intelligent, and very funny.
He asks insightful questions and serves as a positive catalyst for
discussions in Global History. Tommy has a love for reggae music,
his little sister and his family. Having Tommy in class makes
teaching rewarding and worthwhile. Thank you!

Denise NatoliNominated by Mr. Vorwald
Denise is a highly motivated and reliable student and serves as a
role model for her peers. She easily relates to her peers and her
teachers and demonstrates all the traits of not only an excellent
student, but also of a caring and considerate person. Denise is most
deserving of being recognized at our Breakfast of Champions.

Nicole QuinteroNominated by Ms. Feeley and Ms. Dudick
Nicole is a hardworking, helpful and incredibly kind student who
is well respected by her peers and her teachers. Nicole has been a
good asset to our ESL students during her study hall and has taken
a leadership role in helping those students learn the English
language. Her patience and good nature shows while helping
students in Ms. Feeley’s learning labs.

Meaghan ReillyNominated by Mr. Pace
Meaghan is a joy to have in the classroom. She is a hardworking
student who makes sure not only that she is heard, but that others
are as well. As a student in class, Meaghan is not afraid to be the
“missing voice.” Meaghan’s opinion and beliefs are very
respected in the class and I look forward to hearing more of what
she has to say in the coming years.

Thomas RendeNominated by Mr. Schmeider
Tom comes across as “the eternal optimist”- someone who sees
that people are remarkably good. Tom is athletic, a developing
leader, an “A” student, never big headed, but always big hearted.
He serves his Key Club well, and always serves as a leader in
helping other club members fulfill their membership obligations.

Alexandra SellittiNominated by Ms. Warren
Alexandra is a wonderful student. She is motivated, hard-working,
and goal oriented. More importantly, she is a wonderful person –
kind, considerate, empathetic, and thoughtful. Alexandra truly
deserves to be a champion!

Jean –Marie Tagliaferri Nominated by Mr. Blatter
Jean-Marie is an extremely hard working, conscientious, and
caring young lady! She never hesitates to help other students in
class, or any other situations. Jean-Marie is a tremendous choice
for Breakfast of Champions!

Raymond Waters Nominated by Mr. Delargy
Ray is the ultimate athlete. He is one of the most unselfish
athletes I have seen in my career. He leads by example and is
a tremendous role model.

Megan Whitehurst Nominated by Ms. Bernstein
Megan is a sensitive, kind and hardworking young lady who
epitomizes everything that is right about today’s youth. She
brings her “A-game” to class each and every day, and her
achievement certainly reflect her efforts. She has been a joy
for these last 2 years and she is only getting better.
