Two students from Mineola Union Free School District are among only 85 chosen islandwide to participate in the Institute of Creative Problem Solving for Gifted & Talented Students at SUNY College at Old Westbury. The district congratulates sixth-grader William Massaro and freshman Deanna Polosino on being selected for this prestigious and rigorous program.

William and Deanna will spend a total of 20 Saturday mornings – more than 50 classroom hours – tackling mathematical areas such as algebra, geometry, discrete math and number theory. The program focuses on problem-solving skills and challenging students beyond their typical course of study.
