There was a great turnout for the Kendall vs. Holley Faculty Basketball Game held March 7 to benefit the Amy Laureano Memorial Scholarship Fund. Amy Laureano was a beloved first grade teacher at Kendall who passed away in July 2023. Her husband, Justin, is an elementary school physical education teacher at the district. Kendall won the game 53-36, but the real winners are the students who will benefit from the funds raised in Amy’s memory. The fund will cover expenses for a few students each year for clothes, Christmas presents or to participate with a sports team. The Kendall Lions Club also donated the proceeds from their February chicken barbecue to the fund.
The district posted the following message of gratitude on Facebook: “THANK YOU to Jimmy Z’s Plates & Shakes for the concessions; to the Holley Central School District for joining together to tone down the Eagles vs. Hawks rivalry for a friendly but competitive basketball game; to those who donated baskets, bought tickets and spread the word about the event; to Taylor Kingsbury for her tireless efforts in coordinating the event; and to the Kendall community at large for coming together to celebrate the life of Amy Laureano.”
