Town Honors Intel Semifinalists

North Hempstead Continuing what has become an annual tradition, Supervisor Jon Kaiman and the North Hempstead Town Board last week acknowledged the outstanding accomplishments of the sixteen North Hempstead students who qualified as semifinalists in the 2012 Intel Science Talent Search, the nation’s most prestigious science research competition for high school seniors.

“One of the great attributes of our Town is that we have some of the most successful schools within our borders,” Supervisor Jon Kaiman said, greeting the student honorees and their families, friends and school administrators. “We pay tribute to those of you who are doing extraordinary things and we also acknowledge your parents and teachers and all those around you whose support, mentoring and encouragement has helped get you to this point.”

“The Intel award ceremony was thrilling,” said Councilwoman Lee Seeman. “Our local semi-finalists are exceptionally gifted in science, and their highly creative Intel projects certainly confirmed this. It is my fervent hope that in the future, their scientific endeavors will be funded so that medical cures, environmental solutions, and new products can be found.”

“I want to congratulate all of the Intel semifinalists on their wonderful achievement,” said Councilwoman Anna Kaplan. “They have made us all very proud and we are looking forward to hear of their continued success in the future. They truly are an inspiration to all of us.”
