Students athletes in The National Junior Honor Society at Hicksville Middle School received an award with the NJHS from the organization Autism Speaks for its fundraising efforts to raise awareness of the disorder. Edward Russo, the senior coordinator of field development for the Long Island Chapter of Autism Speaks, presented students of the National Junior Honor Society, advisor Sara Smith and teacher Anthony Tussie with a framed Silver Award plaque for their fundraising efforts throughout the year, raising $3,500 for the cause.
