Eastport Elementary School sixth grader Iyla Bruno was the third legislative District’s first-place poster winner (K-6) in the 2025 Suffolk County Bike Safety Contest, sponsored by the Suffolk County Legislature. Lyla’s poster was also the Overall Suffolk County winner. Additionally, Eastport-South Manor Jr.-Sr. High School students Stacia Bedell, Makayla Coyle, Jayden Durham, Elaina Keller, Juliette Mulligan, Leah Smith and Christopher Spatz collectively submitted the winning video entry titled, “Bikers Got Talent.”
For the annual contest, all 18 legislators invited students from local schools to participate. Elementary students were encouraged to submit a poster, while high school students were eligible to compete in the video contest. Each legislator picked one poster and video to be considered for the Overall Suffolk County Legislature winner.
Students of winning entries were also invited to attend the April 8 Suffolk County Legislature’s General Meeting in Riverhead, where they were recognized for their impressive efforts.
