Sixth graders at Shore Road School in the Bellmore Public School District were visited by a special guest who shared insight on being a professional helicopter pilot for the Military.
Officer Medina is the uncle of student Julien Lluberes, who is in Jennifer Desmond’s class. He visited Mrs. Desmond’s and Carolyn Acevedo’s classes to share how he is a leader within the community and beyond. Officer Medina shared videos of various emergency rescues he performed while piloting and passed around equipment, including a helmet and night vision goggles, for students to get a hands-on experience. He also brought in life preserving vests, which were inflated by students to demonstrate how it’s used in an emergency.
Officer Medina’s talk was a memorable experience with a unique role model.
