On Wednesday, February 3, 2021, the South Country Education Foundation, the SCEF, presented flowers to the teachers in the seven schools in the South Country School District; Bellport High School, Bellport Middle School, Frank P. Long Intermediate School, Kreamer Street Elementary, Verne Critz Elementary, Brookhaven Elementary, and The Southaven Annex.
In a letter that accompanied the flowers, the SCEF said, “Please accept these beautiful flowers as a small token of appreciation for your valiant efforts to educate students in our district during the Covid-19 pandemic. We know it hasn’t been easy.”
Pamela Lerner and Jane Tierney, of the Bellport Garden Club, did the flower arrangements and the Board Members of the SCEF: Robin Young Roe – President, Diane Zanazzi – Vice President, Andrea Fassman – Treasurer, Donna Esp – Secretary, and Board Members: Susan Sangiamo, Nancy Marr, Pamela Lerner, Allison Buck, Meghan Shannon, Hans Tempel, Michael Chiaramonte, Sarah Rauch, and Ellen Hoffman, delivered them to the schools after the recent snowstorm as a surprise.
