At the Port Jefferson School District Board of Education meeting on Sept. 12, an elite group of employees were honored for the milestone of working in the district for 25 years.

Dr. Robert Neidig, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, interspersed lyrics about still going strong from Shania Twain’s “You’re Still the One” to the six who have dedicated their careers for the betterment of Port Jefferson students and the school district mission and vision.

On behalf of the Port Jefferson school community, congratulations to elementary music teacher Mark Abbonizio, middle school special education teacher Monica Consalvo, maintenance mechanic Willians Corona, elementary teaching assistant Vicky Jobst, and elementary teachers Rachel Erickson and Laura Kelly.

Dr. Neidig and Superintendent of Schools Jessica Schmettan presented each honoree with a 25-year pin, a certificate of appreciation and a gift of chocolates as a token of celebrating their passion for their professional craft.
