Elementary Enrichment teacher Cindy Dwyer hosted a Gifted Education Network Superintendent's Conference Day on November 4, 2014. The event was held in the library of Cherry Avenue Elementary School, and attended by 22 teachers, representing 16 school districts across Nassau & Suffolk counties. Mrs. Dwyer is a co-founder of the Gifted Education Network, along with Islip teacher Julia Johnson. The mission of the Gifted Education Network is to connect teachers of Gifted Education so that they can be a resource to each other. Often there is only one teacher in each district with a background in gifted education, so the field of G/T or Enrichment, as it is called in Sayville, can be isolating.
