West Babylon Senior High School students put their fitness skills to the test as they participated in the Army Fitness Challenge on Nov. 12. During their physical education classes, students were divided into groups and went head-to-head against their classmates – as well as other school districts – to see if they had what it takes to be Army strong.

Local Army soldiers took over the physical education classes as part of the challenge. Students rotated through various stations where they also learned about living a healthy lifestyle and the importance of being active. The four stations – buddy carry, modified sprint/weighted carry relay, cross functional fitness relay and Hex bar lifts/teambuilding – challenged their physical strength but encouraged students to work together.

Additionally, the West Babylon classes will have their times at each station compared with other schools in the area to potentially earn the title of the Army’s Certified Fittest School.

West Babylon School District kicked off a weekend full of homecoming festivities with a pep rally to close out the school day at West Babylon Senior High School on Oct. 18. Continuing the celebrations, members of the school community lined up to march down Little East Neck Road to begin their parade to the West Babylon Junior High School football fields. 

Across the district, students and staff from each of the school buildings marched together to show their West Babylon pride. Led by the marching band, cheerleaders, youth football players, student organizations and clubs flashed their blue and gold colors for the community. The homecoming floats were themed for the four seasons this year, showing off winter, spring, summer and fall looks for each of the classes.  

Back on the football field, senior members of the football team, cheerleaders and marching band were honored. For the big Friday night lights game, the Eagles took on the Centereach Cougars and dominated the game from the start. They took the lead early on with a score of 20-6 going into halftime and closed out the game with a 33-12 victory.  

Varsity cheerleaders led the halftime routine, sporting their pink pompoms for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. The marching band wowed the homecoming crowd with their routine. The celebrations continued the following night for the annual homecoming dance at West Babylon Senior High School.
