Lindenhurst Union Free School District faculty and staff hit the courts in an effort to raise money for pediatric cancer.
During the fourth annual “Battle of the Schools, Teachers Spiking out Cancer” volleyball tournament organized by middle school reading specialist Kelly Bardak and held at the Lindenhurst High School, teachers, administrators and staff competed against each other, much to the enjoyment of the community of spectators.
The annual event benefits the Christina Renna Foundation. Christina Renna was a young Lindenhurst student who, sadly, lost her battle with cancer. Christina was a member of the girls varsity track team when Bardak was the assistant coach. This year, the fundraiser generated $2,870.
This was the first year to include a team comprised of Lindenhurst alumni. That team competed against the middle school team to earn the title of champion. The final score was 25-19.
