To our Massapequa Family, It is with profound sadness that I follow up on my message from Thursday evening to share the devastating news of the loss of Emma Rose Angelillo, a beloved second-grader at Lockhart Elementary School. Emma was a cherished member of our school family, and her passing has deeply affected us all. Emma was a bright light in our school, a child whose warmth and kindness touched everyone she met. With her big, beautiful smile and long blonde hair, she filled our hallways with joy, greeting friends and teachers with a cheerful “hello.” She had a way of making everyone feel seen and valued, a gift that made her truly special. Whether it was a sweet hug or a warm, heartfelt note, Emma would find a way to share her love. Her beautiful spirit and smile lit up the room. Known for her love of fashion, stylish dresses and skirts, Emma also loved to dance, to draw, and to bring happiness wherever she went. She was bubbly, full of life, and a friend to all. Whether laughing with classmates, creating colorful masterpieces, or simply spreading kindness, Emma embodied the very best of our school community. She adored the colors purple, pink, and teal – vibrant, just like her. In honor of Emma's beautiful spirit and to support her family, we invite the entire Massapequa school community to wear purple tomorrow, Monday, March 24. Let's celebrate Emma's life and the joy she brought to everyone by wearing purple. Please join me in embracing Emma’s family, friends, teachers, and all who cherished her, holding them close in our hearts and prayers. In these moments of profound sorrow, may we draw strength from one another. Our Massapequa community will stand together, united in love and unwavering support, to honor Emma’s memory and provide comfort to those who need it most. Sincerely, William Brennan, Ed.D Superintendent of Schools
