In honor of Veterans Day, the high school's Junior Chamber of
Commerce Club placed American flags in the ground outside the school’s
main entrance.
In preparation for the event, the students had asked for $5 donations
for messages for veterans, which were then laminated and affixed to
each flag. The funds were then collected for donation to the Islip
American Legion Rusy-Bohm Post 411. Additionally, art classes guided by
teacher Jenna DeBobes used sidewalk chalk to decorate the school’s front
sidewalks with patriotic artwork.
On Nov. 10, the club students and teacher Renee Clock gathered at the
site to present guest members of the American Legion with the donation
check.
