Gregory Thornton wrote a sympathy message

“I tried out for chorus in sixth grade at Wantagh ES to get out of class. Mrs Sugar was the sweetest woman and the next thing I knew 3 years of chorus in Wantagh JHS. Never would have tried it without her nudge of support and never would have believed I would enjoy singing a duet at a concert in front of hundreds. Thank you Mrs Sugar. RIP!”

Michelle Elizabeth wrote a sympathy message

“Mrs Sugar taught me you didn’t have to be good at music in order to love it and allow it into your life. I have then best childhood memories from the songs we did in class, to learning the recorder. The concert selections to writing our own songs for graduation. She defines the phrase legendary teacher and inspiration to all that we’re apart of her magic!”

Nancy Menechino wrote a sympathy message

“Mrs. Sugar was my favorite teacher of all time. She gave me and so many of her students at Wantagh elementary wonderful childhood memories, she inspired us to learn and appreciate music. She made it fun especially the Halloween song each year where we could be bats or witches, to this day I still sing the song in my head so I know how to spell Halloween. She was caring and loving and will always have a special place in my heart. - Nancy Menechino”
