Four Sachem students were recently honored with Suffolk County Zone Awards presented by the New York State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.

Honored this year were Sachem North’s Bella Lorenzo and Nick Gambino, as well as Sachem East’s Lindsey Gelderman and Andrew Oakland.

To be considered for this honor, students must maintain an A average or 90 percent average in high school physical education classes, maintain an overall grade point average of 3.0 or higher at the completion of his or her junior year, contribute to the overall positive tone of the physical education class as well as the school, be a leader in class activities and demonstrate the ability to accept responsibility for regular class tasks.

Additionally, these students are leaders in schoolwide activities both on and off the field, and are role models in physical education classes by achieving a high level of physical fitness as determined by individual accomplishments recognized by the district.
