Locust Valley and North Shore High School life skills student basketball players got the varsity treatment, as Locust Valley students filled the stands and cheerleaders got the crowd going at a friendly exhibition earlier in May.
The Locust Valley and North Shore life skills programs have developed a close relationship over the past four years, starting a basketball game and lunch day for the students to compete and come together. This year, Locust Valley life skills teachers Jennifer Bluestein, Jessica DiPardo and Jessica Garrison wanted to reciprocate and host North Shore. To commemorate the event, the high school’s Peer Leaders and Best Buddies clubs created signs to celebrate both the Falcons and Vikings teams. The SEPTA parents council provided the teams with a postgame pizza meal.
The students and staff helped create an incredible atmosphere and a day to remember as this new tradition continues to grow.
