Noticing that popular nachos were no longer offered in their school’s cafeteria, Bellport Middle School students Giabella Tritsch and Autumn Tuliszewski decided to petition to bring them back. The pair teamed up and worked to garner over 150 signatures from their peers that they presented to their principal Dr. Jamal Colson, who worked with the district’s food services department to reinstate the dish. “I am really proud of them for showing such passion and displaying early signs of civic engagement,” said Dr. Lindsay Blaszcyk, literacy teacher, who assisted the students with their endeavor.
