February's Star Award went to Mrs. Brenda Lentsch. After more than two decades of dedicated service, Brenda has been the steadfast pillar of our communication efforts, demonstrating an unmatched level of trustworthiness and dependability. Brenda has been there, tirelessly supporting our mission, 24/7, 365 days a year, whether it’s the crack of dawn or the middle of the night. Her devotion to her role is a testament to her unparalleled work ethic and loyalty.

One of Brenda’s remarkable talents lies in her ability to cultivate a positive and engaging presence for our District across various platforms, particularly on social media. Her efforts have amplified our achievements and resonated with our community. Brenda works tirelessly to represent Commack Schools in a positive light and keep social media, the app, website, and press up-to-date with Commack events and programs. She is a master of communication, and she has a knack for telling the stories of our students and staff in a way that is both informative and inspiring.

One of Breda’s colleagues, Laura Rizzo stated “Brenda is an exceptional coworker. She is always there for our department and anyone else that ever needs her. Brenda shows true STAR qualities in Commack.”

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Brenda embodies genuine warmth, kindness, and a heart that radiates compassion. 

She truly exemplifies all of the qualities of a Commack Star. Congratulations to Brenda on her retirement at the end of this month! We'll miss you!
