Hampton Bays High School sophomore Willem Sarkis was selected to perform in the High School Honor Band at the prestigious New York State Band Directors Association Symposium in Syracuse this March.

Sarkis, who plays the bassoon, earned the honor based on his performance at the New York State School Music Association Solo Evaluation Festival last spring.

Sarkis has been playing the bassoon since the fifth grade. He performs on the instrument in his school’s band and plays the saxophone in the jazz band. When not performing, Sarkis participates in his school’s Interact Club and Peer Educators Program. He also wrestles on his school’s team.

To thwart vaping, Hampton Bays High School collaborated with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services to host a two-week Vape Out program.

As part of the program, presenters from the health department spoke to students about the significant impact vaping can have on the teenage body. In addition, the school’s peer educators hung posters, delivered daily announcements on the dangers of vaping and created a presentation that they made to their peers during health classes.

The school’s peer educators are trained to create and conduct presentations to high school, middle school and elementary school students on important topics such as bullying, being an upstander rather than a bystander, making good choices and other character education topics.
