Dedicated members of Eastport-South Manor National Honor Society and Eastport-South Manor National Junior Honor Society took part in a meaningful community event last week, lacing up their running shoes for the Andrew’s Top Gun Run 5K.
The annual race, which supports local causes, provided students with an opportunity to stay active while giving back to the community. Participation in the event reflects the values of service and leadership that both honor societies emphasize, and students embraced the chance to make a positive impact beyond the classroom.
Several participants turned in strong performances on race day. Kyler Albert, Blake Fiori and Matthew Keller each stood out by placing in their respective age groups, highlighting both their athletic ability and dedication.
The Eastport-South Manor school community praised the students for their efforts and commitment. In a statement shared on the district’s website, officials noted, “The National Honor Society members not only showcased their commitment to community service through their participation but also demonstrated the spirit of teamwork and leadership that the organization fosters. It’s inspiring to see these young leaders making an impact both in and outside the classroom.”
Events like the Top Gun Run continue to bring together students, families and community members for a shared cause, reinforcing the importance of service and connection. For the Eastport-South Manor students involved, the experience served as both a rewarding day of competition and an opportunity to support something larger than themselves.
With strong participation and positive results, the honor society members once again demonstrated what it means to lead by example—both on the course and in the community.
