JEF Distinguished Educator Award
The Jericho Educational Foundation held its first Distinguished Educators Award Dinner at the Metropolitan in Glen Cove on May 11, 2007.
The dinner was a resounding success with over 150 guests including local dignitaries to honor Jeffrey Ratner (Principal of Seaman Elementary School) and Martin Weissman (Principal of Jackson Elementary School), for more than ten years of outstanding service as educators and administrators in the Jericho School District.

The Little Theater Gets a Face Lift
The Little Theater, located in the high school, is used throughout the school year for student performances, meetings and other various events.
The Little Theater stands as one of the original and oldest facilities within the school and was in need of a major face lift. The JEF decided this would be our first project.
With financial contributions of approximately $27,500 plus services and materials donated by community members, we were able to modernize the facility by installing new curtains, carpet, moldings, and paint, as well as reburbish the floors and front stage facade.
The project was completed in May 2007.
