Long Island Unified School District: Advancing Student Technology
Overview
The Roslyn Union Free School District, part of the Long Island Schools, includes five educational institutions: a pre-kindergarten and first grade school, an elementary school for first to fifth grade, another elementary school for second to fifth grade, a middle school for sixth to eighth grade, and a high school, all located on Long Island's north shore.
Commitment to Education
Serving approximately 3,500 students, the Roslyn Union Free School District is dedicated to equipping students for the 21st century. Emphasizing strong science and technology programs, the district ensures that all students receive comprehensive computer education from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Their success is evident as they've consistently had semifinalists in the Intel Science Talent Search for the past 24 years. To bring these programs to life, the district actively seeks additional funding, with significant support coming from the Foundation for the Advancement of Student Technology (F.A.S.T.).
Foundation for the Advancement of Student Technology
F.A.S.T., a nonprofit organization, collaborates closely with the district to enhance its technology education programs. It also aims to forge connections with local businesses and the community. Through various fundraisers and technology-based events, F.A.S.T. has successfully raised over $150,000 for the district's computer and technology initiatives.
F.A.S.T.'s Annual Golf and Tennis Classic
One notable fundraising event is the annual F.A.S.T. Golf and Tennis Classic, held at the Glen Head Country Club. Now in its fifth year, this event supports computer-related projects and district-wide tech seminars. It features a full day of activities including brunch, lunch, cocktails, a dinner, and a silent auction, attracting over 200 participants annually. Recently renamed in memory of Glenn Steinfast, a beloved former news anchor and F.A.S.T. supporter, the event continues to be a vital source of funding.
Discount Card Initiative
Additionally, F.A.S.T. offers a Discount Card for purchase at around $20, providing discounts at local businesses. Proceeds from these cards directly support technology education in the Roslyn Union Free School District.
Through efforts like these, F.A.S.T. plays a crucial role in advancing technology education, ensuring students are well-prepared for the future.
