Dear_______________________,

Congratulations! It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Peekskill High School Athletic Hall of Fame Committee has
selected you for induction into the Peekskill High School Athletic Hall of Fame. This is a very prestigious group of athletes,
coaches, administrators, and community members.

Your outstanding achievement and contribution to the Peekskill High School athletic program has deemed you worthy of this
 great honor. In reviewing your credentials, the committee unanimously supported your nomination and selection into the
 Hall of Fame.

The Peekskill High School Hall of Fame was created to honor:

• Those individuals who have excelled as athletes while students at Peekskill High.
• Those individuals who have excelled as coaches while at Peekskill High.
• Those individuals or staff members who have been ardent supporters of the Peekskill High School
  athletic program.
• Those very special teams that have performed extraordinarily well bringing pride to the school and
  the community.

We have a rich tradition of athletic success in Peekskill. By inducting you into the Athletic Hall of Fame, we are thanking
you for the contributions that you have made to our program. Our inductees will be honored at a dinner at the Colonial Terrace
on Friday, September 9, 2011 at 7:00pm. We look forward to seeing you there so we can celebrate your outstanding accomplishments. You are our guest for the evening. If you wish to invite family or friends to this celebration, the cost is
$50.00 per person for a buffet dinner. There will be a cash bar. Any proceeds from the dinner will go directly toward the
creation of the new Jason C. Paige Wellness and Fitness Center to be constructed in the high school.

Please respond to Eileen Alexander, the secretary in the athletic office, at 914-737-3300 Ext. 316, if you are able to attend. 
Or you may email her at ealexander@peekskillcsd.org. If you think others may also be coming to support you, please give Eileen an estimate of that number.  Please ask friends and family to register in advance so we can provide an accurate number to the
