Bethpage High School senior Hailey Hartmann has been awarded the Deborah Stehlik Memorial Music Scholarship, an honor recognizing her dedication to music. Hailey, an accomplished trumpet player, plans to study trumpet in college and pursue a career in music education.
The scholarship is funded through the annual Deborah Rubano Stehlik Memorial 5K, held each fall at Belmont Lake State Park. It was presented to Hailey by Trish Evangelista, owner of Babylon CrossFit. Ms. Stehlik, a beloved Bethpage music teacher for over 25 years, was not only a passionate educator but also a dedicated fitness enthusiast at Babylon CrossFit. To honor her memory, the gym organizes the 5K each year, with all proceeds supporting a graduating Bethpage High School music student.
Ms. Stehlik, who passed away in June 2023, made a lasting impact on the Bethpage School District, teaching music at Kramer Lane Elementary School, Bethpage High School and Central Boulevard Elementary School. A Bethpage graduate herself, she remained deeply connected to the community throughout her life.
