Berry Hill Elementary School in the Syosset Central School District kicked off this year’s PRIDE campaign in spirited fashion.
PRIDE, which stands for Patience, Respect, Integrity, Dignity and Empathy, is an ongoing character education initiative designed to encourage students throughout the school to demonstrate these important qualities. Berry Hill recently held a pep rally in the school gymnasium, where students from every class displayed colorful posters carrying important messages akin to the theme.
Principal Joanne Mannion led off the assembly before passing the microphone to physical education teachers Scott Segal and Bill Lewis, who reinforced the importance of being good citizens and asked students to talk about PRIDE in their own words. Faculty and students wore their “Got PRIDE?” T-shirts, modeled after the famous milk campaign. They will wear the shirts every Friday this year to remind everyone in the school about the importance of demonstrating the attributes of PRIDE.
