The Bridgehampton Union Free School District was recognized with a New York State Breastfeeding Friendly Worksite Designation Certificate. The recognition was presented by members of the Community Outreach department and Division of Adolescent Medicine at Cohen Children’s Medical Center, Northwell Health at the Bridgehampton Board of Education’s Sept. 21 meeting.

“We are proud to take part in this important initiative and are confident in the positive outcomes it promotes for our Bridgehampton colleagues,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mary Kelly said. “This recognition further exemplifies our commitment to providing a supportive environment for breastfeeding employees.”

The district is the second in all of Long Island to work towards and receive this important distinction.

The Bridgehampton School District is working to reinstate its social-emotional and equity task force from two years ago. To ensure the district is culturally responsive and a sustaining environment for all, the district would like to utilize this committee and a new student club to continue to improve on all of the work of its staff and community. At each committee meeting, a BOCES representative who specializes in diversity, equity and inclusion will join to help guide our committee meetings.

If you are a staff member, parent or community member and are interested in joining, please contact Principal Michael Miller at mmiller@bridgehampton.k12.ny.us or 631-998-1300, ext. 1399.

It is the Bridgehampton School District’s goal to have a committee that reflects the community’s and students’ needs.

The committee will utilize the culturally responsive-sustaining education framework to guide committee conversations.
