Local Leaders Welcome New Citizens


Citizenship ceremony at Wiliam Floyd High School | Facebook

Welcome to America!

That’s the heartfelt greeting given to 19 new American citizens from ten different nations at William Floyd High School.

Many thanks to the Community Family Literacy Project of the Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Community Library for helping our new citizens learn English and pass their citizenship exam.

Brookhaven Supervisor Dan Panico, State Senator Dean Murray, Assemblyman Joe DeStefano, Legislator Jim Mazzarella, and Councilwoman Karen Dunne Kesnig congratulated and welcomed the new United States citizens.

In addition to helping people become American citizens, the Community Family Literacy Project of the Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Community Library helps provide scholarships to graduating seniors from William Floyd High School. It offers books for the “Read Out and Read” program at Se Marilyn Shellabarger Health Center.
