Commack Road Elementary School held its seventh annual Power of Pink Day on Oct. 21. Students and staff were encouraged to wear something pink that day in support of the Jeanette M. Feminella Memorial Scholarship Fund – a tribute to the school’s former principal – and the Islip Breast Cancer Coalition.

Throughout the month, Cathy Nieves’ fourth-grade class also sold pink bracelets for $2, pink ribbons to be tied on the school fence for $1, and personalized pink ribbons for $5. Their efforts raised over $750 for the two charities. The $5 ribbons were displayed in front of the building’s main entrance on Power of Pink Day.
