Honoring Dr. Lloyd Elm, Sr.

The LaFayette Central School District was saddened to learn of the passing of Lloyd "Biddy" Elm, Sr. late last week. A former Onondaga Nation School Principal, Dr. Elm's career in education was filled with accolades. He was named as the National Indian Education Association's "National Indian Educator of the Year" in 1987, and later earned a Lifetime Achievement award from that same institution. Dr. Elm was also received the New York State Board Association's "President's Award," and was a two-time recipient of the Leo Reano Award. 

It is with great appreciation that we honor Dr. Elm's memory, and all the good that he brought to the Onondaga Nation School and the LaFayette community as a whole. Per Dr. Elm's obituary, donations in his memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Association in lieu of flowers.
