The Athletic Department hosted their annual Athletic Awards Ceremony in the Joseph C. Burke Auditorium June 1 for Carle Place middle school students.

Every student-athlete was presented a certificate with the listing of the sports that they participated in during the 1999-2000 school year. The participation rate for this year's seventh grade was 79.5 percent (played at least one or more sports) and 77.4 percent for the eighth grade. Both Mr. Ceccoli and Mr. Colligan also introduced each of the middle school athletes who participated on a varsity or JV team, as well as those athletes who participated on four middle school sports throughout the school year.

Highlights of the program included the presentation of four $100 athletic summer camp scholarships sponsored by the Carle Place Athletic Booster Club, the presentation of 35 scholar athlete awards for those students who earned "A" honor roll status during all three academic quarters (also sponsored by the Carle Place Athletic Booster Club), as well as the nine recipients of the Distinguished Athlete Awards voted upon by the middle school coaching staff.
