Levitt has taken his students multiple times to Albany,

even took a group there to view the Electoral College

students to see “Hamilton” on Broadway at no cost.

“I’ve been very lucky,” Levitt says, modestly. “People
have been kind.”

Shyanne Gardner, Freeport’s valedictorian in 2020,
told the Harvard Club that Levitt was continually
“helping to coordinate student projects that taught
us the importance of being engaged members of our
community, to feel empowered in our ability to change
the world.”

Kishore Kuncham, superintendent of Freeport Public

students “engaged in the community around them, and to
facilitate their growth as competent, global citizens.”
