By way of background, the Foundation uses the monies raised this evening to enhance
the educational experience for all students in the Rockville Centre public schools. We
fund grants submitted by our teachers and administrators to find new and innovative
ways of learning inside and outside the classroom. Look inside this Journal for the list
of those grants we awarded the school district for this current academic year. The
pictures tell the real story: Getting Steamed at Watson, Bakers and Shakers at Covert
and learning about the weather at the Weather Bug at the Middle School are just a few
of the examples of the creativity we have sponsored.
This year’s Gala honorees share the Foundation’s mission to make a difference in the
lives of Rockville Centre’s most valuable resource: our children. Whether on the
playing field or the high school stage, Tom Wagner and Centre Stage provide our
children the opportunity to forge new relationships, work as part of a team to achieve
a common goal and understand that success requires hard work and dedication on the
part of all involved.

Our Gala honoree, Thomas J. Wagner, volunteers his time and energy to
Rockville Centre’s youth sports programs. On the baseball field and the basketball
court, as a coach and a commissioner, Tom teaches our children about teamwork,
leadership and sportsmanship. These are life-long lessons that will be remembered
after the game has been played and the score recorded.

Centre Stage, the recipient of the Ruth Fins Memorial Award, is the first
student group that the Foundation has honored. An inclusive drama club, Centre
Stage began from an idea inspired by the friendship and bond between two students at
South Side High School. Following that initial first step and fueled by the
collaboration among students, families and teachers, Centre Stage has grown to
become a source of pride in our community. It touches the lives and hearts of all
involved—whether working behind the scenes or standing for the ovation at the end of
its annual production.

Rockville Centre is an outstanding community that is deeply dedicated
to enriching the education and experiences of our children. We are
so fortunate to be amongst such committed professionals, parents, and
community members who collaboratively work to maintain the highest
standards and most innovative programs for our children. The grants that
our Foundation are able to provide to our schools are a perfect indication of
this combined effort. This year in our endeavor to continue fund-raising we
honor the following:
Thomas J. Wagner, who is recognized for his amazing commitment to
making a difference in the lives of Rockville Centre’s children. As a coach,
commissioner and member of the Board, Tom has spent selfless hours of his
time and energy in managing both the Little League and youth basketball
programs in our community. On behalf of our entire community, we thank
him for his undeniable commitment to our children!
Center Stage is an unbelievable program run by the students of our schools
and various volunteers of our community. This student-initiated project that
began in 2009, has grown into a Club that year after year works to foster an
inclusive community amongst students with special needs and their peers.
We would like to thank all of the individuals involved in this program for
their never ending effort and enthusiasm on and off the stage!
A big thank you to our local merchants and our sponsors who so generously
contributed to our cause. We know in these tough economic times,
donations are more difficult and we can’t express enough our appreciation
for their generosity. We strongly encourage each of you to SUPPORT OUR
LOCAL MERCHANTS. We gratefully acknowledge and support all of
those listed in our journal. The contributions made by you will enable our
Foundation to enrich the lives of the children within our schools for years to
come.
In addition, the Gala Committee has worked tirelessly to ensure the success
of this evening’s event and we respectively thank and acknowledge those
who have assisted in making this GALA possible and such a success.
Thank you for supporting this wonderful endeavor and we hope you enjoy
your evening!

Centre Stage
Ruth Fins Memorial Award
Centre Stage is an inclusive drama club that has grown from an idea developed through the imagination and teamwork
between two students, Cathy Mackey and Bryan Nesdill, at South Side High School in the spring of 2008. They had the
vision to bring together general education students and students with special needs to write, act and produce a play.
Through their efforts and with the support of volunteers, families and school staff and administrators, Centre Stage has
grown and reaches out to an ever-widening circle of young people of all different ages and with all different levels of
ability. What they share is a common bond of friendship and lasting memories, as they work year-round to put on a fulllength theatrical production.
The Rockville Centre Education Foundation is proud to put the spotlight on Centre Stage by awarding it the 2014 Ruth
Fins Memorial Award, the first time that the Foundation is honoring a student group.
From its inception as a small project in a Language Arts class with a skeleton crew and a few overturned tables serving as
a set, Centre Stage has grown to producing full-length musicals. Since that humble beginning, Centre Stage has gone on
to stage performances that include the High School Musical
(2011), The Wizard of South Side (2012) and
South Side Style. (2009), Camp Rockville (2010), Slick
(2013).
Noreen Leahy, the Assistant Superintendent of Schools, says of Centre Stage: Centre Stage is not just another school
club. In my opinion, it is the heartbeat of South Side High school. Not a day goes by that we are not amazed by the
creative contributions of the people that help put this show together. There is no test that could ever measure what our
students learn when they make Centre Stage happen.

Thomas J. Wagner and

CENTRE STAGE
RUTH FINS MEMORIAL AWARD RECIPIENT
Centre Stage is a unique collaboration among students with special needs,
general education students, South Side High School Staff and dedicated
volunteers. Beginning in 2009, students have adapted the storyline of a popular
musical to reflect SSHS and the Rockville Centre community. The purpose of
the Club is to create a sense of community and belonging in which a unified,
cohesive group works towards a common goal.
