Bellport Middle School Generation Citizen students recently celebrated Civics Day by presenting to their peers, principals and distinguished guests research projects that aim to make a positive impact within their school and community.

Each student team presented an issue they had researched, the root causes of the problem at hand and a plan for action. Project topics included lowering the cost of field trips, creating more options for lunch, reducing homework and creating a video game club.

Delivering the keynote addresses were Brookhaven Town Supervisor Dan Panico and Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon Jr. Both leaders spoke about the importance of researching and finding solutions to problems.
