PAWS - Partners Advancing West Islip Students
2010 Annual Gala to Honor Dr. Beth Virginia Blau and Gary Koffsky
PAWS will be hosting its Fifth Annual Gala on March 12, 2010, at the Venetian Yacht Club in Babylon Village. This Gala will be an exciting event with two outstanding community members being honored: Dr. Beth Virginia Blau, Superintendent of Schools, and Gary Koffsky, West Islip Soccer League President. The evening includes dinner and dancing, as well as raffles. Monies raised that night are for the education foundation.

PAWS is a 501 (c)3 education foundation that provides assistance to the school district by assisting students and purchasing items that the district is not otherwise able to obtain. PAWS has presented to the district a Yamaha Baby Grand Piano for the High School Performing Arts Theatre, Smart Boards for the two middle schools and high school, a laser/engraver cutting system and a mobile biotechnology station for the high school, portable bleachers, and many more numerous items for each of the district's nine school buildings. Through the volunteer efforts of PAWS members and the support of the community and good friends, such as Senator Owen Johnson, PAWS is assisting the district in providing a positive learning atmosphere for all students.

Reservations for the Gala can be made by contacting Event Chairperson Jamie Winkler at wre93@aol.com
