Newfield High School’s National Honor Society students proudly represented their school and community spirit by volunteering at the 11th Annual Run the Farm event at Bethel Hobbs Farm in Centereach.
The annual event, which draws participants and supporters from across Long Island, raises awareness and support for the local community through a family-friendly 4 mile run and farm-centered festivities.
Newfield High School students dedicated their time to assist with a range of event responsibilities—from setup and coordination to cheering on runners and helping with post-race activities.
A special highlight of the morning was senior Sreya Roy, who delivered a moving performance of the Star-Spangled Banner to open the awards ceremony, earning heartfelt applause from all in attendance.
“We are incredibly proud of our students for stepping up to serve their community,” said Scott Graviano, Newfield High School Principal. “Events like this not only bring people together but also help our students develop a lifelong commitment to service and leadership.”
Bethel Hobbs Farm is a volunteer-run nonprofit farm whose mission is devoted to servicing local food pantries and food programs. The success of events like Run the Farm depends on the energy and dedication of community volunteers—something the Newfield High School students and the Centereach and Selden Civic Associations provided water and cheered on.
