Taking a Step Toward Their Academic Future

Bellport High School seniors took steps toward their academic futures through attendance at a college application workshop.

Held on Nov. 19-20, school counselors were available in the school library to assist students with the college application process. During the workshop, the counselors provided support with common application and general application completion. In addition, students could ask specific questions and voice concerns about the overall application process.

Acting Director of Guidance and Counseling Programs Ingrid Hrvatin said the college application workshop was a way for the district to assist students in streamlining the college application process.

Throughout the District, students spent the month of November collecting food for those in need.
Under the direction of teachers Jeremy Freeman and Erika Hawthorne, the Bellport Middle School Student Council collected nonperishable food items from Oct. 15-Nov. 20. The food was then sent to Pastor Mike Caiazzo at the Lighthouse Mission to add to the organization’s collection of food for the community.
At Brookhaven Elementary School, the students’ reach had a global appeal. After Halloween, students donated their uneaten candy, which was then sent to military troops abroad.
The Bellport High School Student Council also held its annual Thanksgiving Drive. This year, the organization collected more than 900 nonperishable items for those in need.
