The Hampton Bays Middle School Student Council is giving back to the community by sponsoring the Airborne Tri-Team in its July 5K race. Funds raised through the run, help returning veterans re-acclimate back into society through friendship and physical activity.

The students raised the sponsorship funds, through several fundraisers, including the school’s annual Harvest games, a badminton tournament, during spirit week and class night.  

The council celebrated its success with a luncheon on May 9 in which members of the Airborne TriTeam were present.
