A note on this byline
Marisol Rivera is an editorial-desk byline — not a single named individual. This Long Island uses the Marisol Rivera byline for family events, library programs, museums, and community coverage to maintain continuity of voice across the section while we recruit a permanent named contributor. Bylines tagged “Marisol Rivera” are written and reviewed by The Editors.
We’re transparent about this because credibility matters. Long Island readers and parents should know who’s behind the recommendations they’re reading. If you’re a Long Island parent, educator, or community organizer who’d like to write for this section under your own name, email editors@thislongisland.com — we’re actively recruiting.
