The Islip Chamber of Commerce recently honored the late Jeannette Feminella, beloved former principal of Commack Road, by recognizing her achievements through their annual Light the Night event in December.

With support from the district, Commack Road teacher Debra Scheel organized a team of Islip employees who had worked with Feminella over the years. The group worked to display candles throughout the school’s bus loop; as Scheel said, “Our plan was to fill the bus loop with ‘light’ in Jeannette’s memory.”
