> Legislator Jon Cooper presented a proclamation to Centerport resident Dylan Thompson, a 15-year-old student at Harborfields High School who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) when he was five years old. This is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed in childhood, affecting approximately one in every 3,500 live male births. Dylan has a very positive attitude and is committed to helping to find a cure for DMD. All 1,100 students at Harborfields joined Dylan in this effort, and together they raised over $5,000 by selling DVDs and t-shirts, and hosting a variety of activities to raise awareness about this disorder.

She was selected as one of 20 students for the Academic All-USA First Team from nearly 1,450 applications received nationwide from 800 community colleges in 49 states. Tabata was also named as New York’s 2009 New Century Scholar, an accolade awarded to the highest-scoring student in each state. She stays very active in her community by raising funds for various children’s cancer organizations and championed a campus book drive to benefit children in South America.
