Borough President Vito Fossella is calling on Staten Islanders to nominate dedicated teachers and school administrators who have gone above and beyond to advance the education of their students for the 2025 & 2026 Patrick F. Daly Awards.

The Patrick F. Daly Award, established in 1992, honors former P.S. 15 Principal Patrick F. Daly, who dedicated his career and life to the betterment of his students and tragically died in 1992 while searching for a missing student in the Red Hook Houses.

Those who would like to nominate a teacher or school administrator for consideration for the 2025 & 2026 Patrick F. Daly Awards should provide a detailed letter describing their nominee’s character and why they should receive the award.

Submissions can be made on the Borough Hall website at https://www.statenislandusa.com/patrickdalynomination.html or by e-mailing Renee Sarno at [email protected] and Lauren Lefkowitz at [email protected].

Borough President Vito Fossella stood in front of the graceful wings of the Postcards Memorial, which directly frames the spot where the Twin Towers once stood, to remember the 267 Staten Islanders who were lost 25 years ago and the First Responders who were lost in the years since because of their work at Ground Zero.

Hundreds gathered for the annual 9/11 Memorial Ceremony amid a backdrop of American flags fluttering in the breeze and as a broken skyline shimmered across the harbor.

“We gather once more, before these postcards, these open letters of love and remembrance facing across the harbor, toward the place where so many of our brethren left us on that clear September morning, those who ran toward danger, those who never came home, and those whose lives were later claimed by the aftermath,” said Borough President Fossella.

Bells tolled, heads bowed, and tears were shed as the names of the victims were solemnly read one-by-one by their family members. As the ceremony concluded roses were gently placed along the Postcards Memorial and the First Responders Memorial.

“Many crossed into the heart of the storm and did not return,” said Borough President Fossella.

Today, we remember the innocent lives taken too soon, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the first responders who sacrificed everything to save others. We remember the families who lost loved ones that day, and those who have lost loved ones in the years since because of their service at Ground Zero.

September 11th forever changed our city and our country. But from our darkest day came extraordinary courage, unity, and strength.

Twenty-five years later, we honor them. We remember them. And we will Never Forget.

Today, Borough President Vito Fossella joined Staten Islanders at the Healing Garden Living Memorial to reflect on the lives forever changed by September 11th.

For 25 years, this special place has stood as a living tribute to those we lost and a reminder of the strength and resilience of our community.

Thank you to all those who continue to care for this beautiful memorial and keep their memories alive.
