Members of the Port Jefferson School District represented their students at the Long Island Walk Now for Autism Speaks event, held Oct. 6 at Jones Beach Field 5. The annual walk helps generate funds and awareness about the increasing prevalence of autism.
“The event was fantastic,” said team captain Kristen Poulos, a special education teacher at elementary school. “We could not believe how many people were there!”
The two Port Jefferson teams, one for the elementary school and one for the middle/high school, raised more than $600 combined for the cause.
