Press release from the Port Jefferson School District: Dec. 30, 2021 Two Earl L. Vandermeulen High School students – Michael Scannell and Sofia Ulinski – received the Suffolk Zone Physical Education Leadership Award. The Suffolk Zone is the Suffolk County chapter of the New York State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. Every high school in Suffolk County nominates two students to receive this award. Michael and Sofia were chosen by their physical education teachers to receive this award due to their leadership in the gym, classroom, hallways and community. "Michael always has given great effort and participation every year since middle school," physical education teacher Andrew Cosci said. "He has always been a great leader and role model for other students." Sofia's physical education teacher, Dinarae Camarda, said, "Sofia has always strived for excellence in Wellfit and challenged herself every time in class. Her work ethic is outstanding and she goes out of her way to help her classmates." This press release was produced by the Port Jefferson School District. The views expressed here are the author's own.
