A Breakfast of Champions

During the second annual Breakfast of Champions, held on May 16, the Eastport-South Manor Central School District honored 20 Junior-Senior High School students who exhibit exemplary character and conduct on a daily basis. In the tradition of Wheaties cereal, who for decades honored champions by placing their photos on cereal boxes, the administration and faculty recognized these students who have made daily contributions to the school community.
