About:
Bellport High School fall varsity athletes recently spent time with third grade students at Verne W. Critz Elementary School as part of the South Country School District’s social and emotional learning program Second Step.
The program was inaugurated during the 2022-2023 school year, with fall and winter athletes visiting students at Kreamer Street and Brookhaven elementary schools.
Second Step aims to create lasting bonds between Bellport High School student-athletes and third graders in the district’s elementary schools. The athletes serve as role models as they shadow the third graders and support them in all aspects of their day, from assisting with lessons and academics to accompanying them to lunch.
Prior to the visit, all of the student-athletes were trained in social and emotional learning techniques.
