Ben Harper
We lost a remarkable member of the EOC of Suffolk family and the Bellport community.
Ben Harper’s legacy lives on in the youth he empowered, the neighbors he uplifted, and the countless people who were fortunate enough to call him a friend. He showed us what it means to lead with compassion, integrity, and service. Ben was a mentor, a leader, and a steady source of encouragement. He will be greatly missed.

💙 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒. 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ. 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦. 💙
Our 𝐿𝐸𝐴𝑃𝑆 students at William Floyd Middle School kicked off the year by exploring January’s 𝑆𝐸𝐿 (Social and Emotional Learning) theme: 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ 🎨✨
Each student created a painted tile representing their own source of strength — from cultural heritage and faith to personal passions and values. Together, these individual pieces came together to form a powerful mosaic reflecting 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲, and 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 🧩
We are proud of our students’ creativity, self-expression, and the confidence they bring to the LEAPS program every day 💪
