Shown, left to right are Sister Stare, assistant superintendent of schools for the Diocense; Ed Moore, parent; Kathleen Raz­zetti, principal, St. Martin's, and Keith Mainhart, director, Parish Outreach. St. Martin of Tours School in Amityville was rec­ognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an Energy Star building. Thanks to the ef­forts

of Ed Moore, one of the parents at the school, Keith Mainhart the parish outreach director, and Pastor Rick Stelter, the special recognition was re­ceived from the EPA. The award indicates that those involved in running the school have identified ways to decrease energy consumption and installed en­ergy efficient products.

Each year, St. Martin’s school puts on a gala cele­bration; one of this year’s honorees, Peter Casserly, Deputy Mayor of Amityville, and Sister Catherine Stare, Assistant Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese of Rockville Centre, joined in the pre­sentation of the award to Mrs. Kathleen Razzetti, Principal of St. Martin of Tours School. Principal Razzetti said, “We are proud of the efforts that have been taken by our school and parish to fol­low the Holy Father, Pope Benedict’s initiatives in preserving our world.”
