Easter Sunrise Worship Service The Long Island Council of Churches invites one and all to its annual Ecumenical Easter Dawn worship service at Jones Beach State Park on April 1st at 6:30 a.m. The service will be led by people from many denominations and people of all faiths are welcome.

The preacher will be the Rev. Thomas W. Goodhue, a retired United Methodist clergyman and Executive

Director Emeritus of the Council. He also will tell a story to children (and the young at heart) from his collection “Sharing the Good News with Children,” published by Franciscan Media. Liturgical dancers from St. David’s Episcopal Church in Cambria Heights, led by Carol Callendar, will perform.

In addition, the Bethpage New Apostolic Church choir and the men’s choir

from Woodbury New Apostolic Church will both sing. Other worship leaders will include the Rev. Ron Garner, pastor of Wantagh Memorial Congregational Church, the Rev. Moira Ahearne from Community Presbyterian Church in Merrick and Yolanda Murray from the LICC’s Freeport office.

The Council of Churches has been hosting this annual event for many

years.

“It has grown steadily over the past fifteen years or so,” Goodhue notes, “drawing hundreds of people from all sorts of backgrounds. Easter celebrates something completely unexpected, Jesus being raised from the dead and God triumphing over injustice. This worship service always celebrates the Resurrection in some way that is fresh and new.

This year we will have the

liturgical dancers from Cambria Heights for the first time and two choirs from the New Apostolic Church, the newest denomination to join the Council of Churches. I’m glad to be leading it one more time.”

The service will begin at 6:30 a.m. at Jones Beach State Park, Parking Field 6. This is just east of the East Bathhouse, which itself is east of the Wantagh

Parkway. Look for a large blue Long Island Council of Churches banner. The service will be brief (about half an hour) and fairly informal. Dress warmly and bring a blanket or beach chair. Donations for the LICC’s emergency food pantries and monetary contributions for the pantries will be gladly received.

My Spring Awakening I have never seen the play which bears my title, nor am I especially familiar with its subject matter; however, I feel it an appropriate moniker on this, March 21st, as I begin to put my thoughts together for the column you are reading.

To start, I have been curious for some time as to why the dates for the first “official” days of each of our four seasons seem to fluctuate year to year when, back in school, the calendar remained fairly standard. The Summer and Winter Solstices fell on June 21st and December 21st, respectively; and the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes occurred on March 21st and September 23rd, without fail. Now, it seems most have been pushed up by an entire day, throwing my entire elementary school curriculum into question.

Upon doing a bit of research, it seems this variance is due to a combination of factors; namely, that the earth’s elliptical orbit is gradually changing year after year, causing a slight difference in when the planet reaches its 90-degree intervals around the sun, signaling the change of season. Additionally, the concept that days of Equinox result in the precisely equal separation of day and night is also not quite accurate.

This, apparently, is due to atmospheric conditions which lead to “refraction,” leading us to believe we are seeing the sun slightly prior to its rise and a bit past its set.

as the “first” day of spring anxiously keeping tabs on the collection of snow piling up outside, courtesy of our latest Nor’easter.} And yet, there is something to having a calendar decree that this, today (or yesterday, as the case may be), marks the beginning of something.

Notice we do not commemorate the “end” of Winter, but rather, the start of Spring. Positive, proactive, looking ahead, with hope and great expectations of things to come. That’s the spirit we as a society wish to embody, even if only on paper. The key, of course, is to take that Science aside, it would be philosophy to the streets, to nice to have a mutually agreed- truly live with that same sense upon date to celebrate these of urgency and drive. That, we sorts of significant seasonal can only rely on ourselves for. transitions. True, they may be Although the arrival of mere formalities. {As I sit here on the date formerly known Spring sure doesn’t hurt.

The Welcome Friends soup kitchens have provided hot, nutritious meals five days every week for over 27 years. The volunteer staff has increased to more than 200 remarkable members, and the guests typically number between 50 to sometimes more than 70 each night.

Welcome Friends operates with a 100% volunteer staffed organization, assuring contributors that their donations are used exclusively for the preparation and serving of meals. The volunteers together form an outstanding team that addresses hunger and works to expand relationships with individual supporters,

local food markets, farm stands, religious institutions, community leaders, local village government and other agencies.

After almost three decades serving the greater Port Jefferson area, the leaders and volunteers of Port Jefferson’s Soup announced their decision to become an independent not-for-profit corporation named “Welcome Friends.” The operation has become self-sustaining, with a solid foundation of local community support.

Welcome Friends is currently in need of the following volunteer positions: Cooks, Assistant Cooks/ Food Prep and Pick Up/Delivery and a Grant Writer.

If you are interested in any of these positions, please e-mail VolunteerWelcomeFriends@gmail.com or call 631.403.6707. This organization also accepts monetary donations, which can be sent to Welcome Friends Soup Kitchen - PO Box 88, Port Jefferson Station, NY 11776.

With enriching demonstrations of French, Italian and Spanish language and culture, as well as American Sign Language, East Islip High School celebrated Foreign Language Week in the school’s library during the week of March 5th.

Tuesday was American Sign Language Day. Students wore T-shirts with sign language messages, signed popular songs in ASL, taught basic signs and the alphabet, and played fun games with visiting fourth-graders from the district’s John F. Kennedy Elementary School.

For Spanish Day on Wednesday, students watched a Foreign Language Honor Society presentation in the library about the roots of flamenco dancing and how it inspired Irish step dancing. They then moved into the school’s Forum for a live performance by

Allergy And Dirty Ducts families. After all, in a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust— including dangerous chemicals and other pollutants—is created annually through everyday living. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and recirculated

as much as seven times a day. Over time, this leads to built-up contaminants in the ductwork. Since your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home, you want to keep it clear.

Indoor air quality can be a big concern for many

By: Alexandra H. Rodrigues

It hurts to see when scum covers the river When the waters cannot flow anymore!

When pollution over thoughts gets upper hand!

When even ruins crumble in vast polluted land.

High time to heal the world.

Sea roses drown in their once clear green lake Ducks and swans bend their heads as if at a wake.

Bloody and lifeless corpses lay on a deserted street While the so-called dignitaries over cocktails meet.

High time to heal the world.

Wrapped in snowy down I cuddle under the warmth of your quilt That covered you Wrapped you in dreams

The rapture of a cuddled cover Brought you many nights of slumber’s bliss I snuggle into its warm and dreamy folds Sleep fills my mind and Images fade in and out of awareness . . .

Comforter Comes to me as a cape for the weary Its warmth a mantle of love Safe among the threads where you touched.

GROWING TOGETHER - The Bay Shore girls basketball program recently held a joint practice. The coaches brought together the Varsity, Junior Varsity and Middle School teams to work together and build their skills.

Great American Cleanup As Earth Day approaches on April 22nd, it is time to prepare for the national community enhancement and environmental improvement event known as the Great American Cleanup.

The GAC is an initiative of Keep America Beautiful and it involves over 5 million volunteers from approximately 20,000 communities across the country. Keep Islip Clean, which is a not-for-profit affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, is the local

sponsor for this national program.

KIC supports thousands of volunteers throughout all hamlets of Islip Township during the GAC each year. These volunteers don gloves, safety vests and litter grabbers to improve their shared community. The goal is to remove litter and debris, clean shorelines and waterways, plant flowers and community gardens and increase recycling, all in public spaces.

KIC strives to have an

activity for everyone.

People can join large community-wide cleanups organized by KIC or create their own project.

All volunteers are given the supplies to ensure a successful event and community service hours are provided for students.

For more information contact KIC at 631.224.2627, keepislipclean@optonline. net or check the events listing on www. keepislipclean.org.

The welding students at Islip Career Center are currently in the process of creating horseshoe shamrocks to donate to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which benefits childhood cancer research.

Islip Career Center (ICC) is an Eastern

Suffolk BOCES school that provides special career education services to students with special needs. The skills students acquire at ICC may enable them to obtain entry-level employment in certain industries.

Each horseshoe must

be restored through a labor-intensive process prior to welding them into shamrock configurations.

This task involves smoothing edges, grinding away nails, and trimming excess pieces.

After completing the prep work, students weld and paint the horseshoes.

The class plans to donate approximately 20 horseshoe shamrocks to the foundation, which sells them to raise additional funds and also presents them to individuals who raise significant sums of money.

ICC’s welding students have created and donated horseshoe shamrocks to St. Baldrick’s for the last three years. Said Welding Teacher Taylor Terhaar, “Channeling creativity through welding is a lot of fun, but doing so to contribute to a worthy cause is even better.”

Robotics Showcase

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 28, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Displaying a growing mastery of technology skills, East Islip Middle School students recently held a demonstration of the school’s VEX-supplied robotics program, which debuted this year. This new robotics class, which is made up of seventhand eighth-graders, meets every other day under the direction of technology teacher Hal Kench to perfect the skills needed to operate these machines.

Both grade levels learn to work together as a team in order to successfully

complete each task.

For the demonstration, the students brought their VEX robots to the middle school’s professional development room to show how they operate and what each robot has to do in order to complete its mission, lifting four colorful blocks and moving and placing them on the opposite square tile. The students then taught district administrators including Superintendent John Dolan, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction and Personnel

Paul Manzo, East Islip Middle School Principal Mark Bernard, and East Islip High School Principal William Brennen - how to use the robots.

“This was a true STEM event, showcasing how these students have begun to learn about building robots, and coding and programming them,” said Technology Director Israel Malinowitzer. “The adults also had a great time and tried competing with one another to see who could get all four blocks into one square tile.”

Skills and Substance Broadway returned to Islip High School this February with the school’s fast-paced production of “Legally Blonde,” directed

by Dr. Rich Harris Jr. The memorable musical, written by Heather Hach with music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin, was based on the 2001 comedy film of the same name.

Starring in the lead role was Morgiana McDevitt.

Dressed in pink and sporting a blonde wig, she transformed into Elle Woods and not only won the heart of Emmett, played by John DelGenio,

but the entire audience as well. Their talented fellow student-actors brought the story to life with lively songs, snappy dialogue and entertaining choreography. The cast also included Nick D’Auria and Jonathan Powell as Warner Huntington III, Matthew Mahr as Professor Callahan, Emma Regina and Faith Terrill as Paulette Bonafonté, Toni Castranova and Gia Sciara as Brooke TaylorWyndham, Brendan Larson and Jack Michael as Kyle, and Sheila Kiernan and Olivia Schadt as Vivienne Kensington.

“From the moment the curtain opened, all of us in the audience knew we were in for a musical treat,” said Superintendent of Schools Susan Schnebel.

“When that curtain closed on the last performance, it was clear to all that this event was more than just a musical production.

In today’s world, where people are quick to judge and substance is often overlooked in favor of the superficial, our cast, crew and musicians came together with unity and understanding to positively create a marvelous experience for all.”

Brake also built a bench overlooking the garden so visitors can sit, relax and reflect.

Laundry room renovation ideas T o former apartment dwellers or those who have never enjoyed the benefit of a dedicated laundry area, even the smallest washer and dryer space can seem like a luxury.

The benefits of dedicated laundry rooms abound. However, disorganized laundry rooms can nullify such benefits. Depending on the needs and preferences of each homeowner, laundry room designs can be customized for convenience.

Employ vertical space

Floor space may be at a premium in a laundry room, especially for those who want to devote as much space as possible to bulk-size washer and dryer units. Therefore, utilizing wall space is key. Use shelving, wire racks, hooks and other organizational tools to store items on the wall. Shelves can be tucked into just about any space, and there are different options that can fit into corners or shallow areas. These are a great option for keeping detergent or other laundry essentials nearby.

Clean designs reduce clutter

Simple, clean designs can be an asset in a laundry room. If budget and space permits, cabinetry built into the design will help keep items out of sight in the laundry room. Cabinets hung directly above the appliances can store detergent, bleach and fabric softener. Use cabinets elsewhere in the room as catch-alls for cleaning supplies used in various other rooms around the house.

Incorporate a sink in the design

Some older laundry room setups have a slop sink to drain discharged water from the washing machine. However, newer homes may have plumbing installed directly through the floor or walls. It is still a worthwhile idea to have a sink in the laundry room for rinsing out stains, handwashing items and having a go-to sink for messier cleanup.

Utilize a tension rod

A rod installed between two cabinets or across a narrow width of space in the

laundry room is a handy spot to hang shirts or pants to prevent wrinkling.

Repurposing a ladder and suspending it from the ceiling also creates a spot to hang clothes.

Consider laundry room flooring

An organized and efficient laundry room setup can make washing and drying clothes easier.

It’s important to select flooring materials that will not be damaged by contact with moisture or spills. Vinyl, tile and some composite products often make good laundry room floor materials. Resilient flooring that mimics the look of hardwood may add a classy touch, and give the appearance of wood without having to worry about damage. To alleviate fatigue

while spending long moments in the laundry room, invest in a memory foam mat that can be placed underfoot.

Keep lighting in mind

Lighting can be important in the laundry room. Rely on task lighting, under-cabinet strip lighting and overhead lights as needed for efficiency.

Many gardeners prefer growing a variety of plants in their gardens. Such an approach requires taking inventory of the type of soil in one’s garden and making the necessary modifications so that the types of vegetables, herbs, shrubs or flowers that will be planted can grow in strongly. In fact, the most important step to developing good roots is preparing the soil.

We Can Create A Vacation Paradise In Your Own Backyard!

ardening enthusiasts may have been thinking about their landscape plans throughout the winter, eager to once again get their hands dirty with soil. Whether a home gardener is making preparations for edible crops or beautiful flowers, he or she must take time to make the soil amenable to planting. To establish hearty, durable plants, gardeners can focus on three main areas: addressing soil composition, cultivating and adding nutrients.

the soil. Mother Earth News suggests working on garden soil when the soil is damp but never wet; otherwise, garden soil can become messy and clumpy. Use a digging fork or shovel to lightly turn the soil when it’s mostly dry. Gentle tillings also can open up the soil to incorporate the nutritional amendments and relieve compaction that likely occurred from freezing temps and snow pressure. Tilling also helps with drainage and oxygen delivery to roots. The DIY Network suggests turning over soil at a depth of 12 inches to work the soil — about the length of a shovel spade. However, the resource Earth Easy says that existing garden beds have a complex soil ecosystem and simply top-dressing with compost or manure can be enough preparation for planting. Gardeners can experiment with the methods that work best for their gardens.

Take a sample of the soil and examine it to see what is present. If the soil is too full of clay, too sandy, too dense or too loose, that can lead to problems where plants cannot grow in strong. Work with a garden center to add the right soil amendments to make a rich soil. This may include organic compost or manure, which will also add nutrients to the soil.

Cultivation

Cultivating the soil can involve different steps. Removal of weeds, errant rocks, roots and other items will help prepare

Nutrition

Testing the pH and the levels of certain nutrients in the soil, namely nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, will give gardeners an idea of other soil additions that may be needed. Soils with a pH below 6.2 often can benefit from the addition of lime several weeks before planting. Soil tests will determine just how much fertilizer to add to the soil. Complete fertilizers will have equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.

Individual fertilizers can amend the soil with only these nutritional elements that are needed.

Top-dressing empty beds with a layer of mulch or compost can prevent weed growth and preserve moisture until it is time to plant. If existing shrubs or plants are in garden beds, use more care so as not to disturb roots or dig too deeply.

Preparing garden beds takes some effort initially, but can be well worth the work when plants flourish throughout the growing season.

Unleash the Love

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 28, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Every shelter animal comes with a sad story that they’re unable to communicate.

Abuse, neglect, abandonment and displacement leave them frightened, bewildered, often despondent and desperately seeking a friend. Pet Peeves, Inc., an umbrella organization that provides financial support to Long Island animal shelters, pet rescue groups, humane education programs and pet therapy programs is hosting its annual Unleash the Love!

Luncheon Friday, April 27th at the Crest Hollow

Country Club in Woodbury.

Unleash the Love! is Pet Peeves major fundraiser of the year. Proceeds from the luncheon directly benefit local shelters, rescue groups and other programs. Tickets are on sale now at www.petpeeves. org. RSVPs are requested

by April 15th.

“We think of Pet Peeves as the voice of Long Island pets in need,” says the organization’s founder, Janine Dion. “As a fundraising organization, we do not perform the hands-on rescue but through corporate and

individual donations fund the shelters, rescue groups and individuals who work on the front lines. The monies we raise go directly to animal rescue, care and rehabilitation – not to administration, salaries or issues that do not directly impact the welfare of the animals.”

Pet Peeves is a 100% volunteer-driven organization made up of compassionate individuals and corporations who want to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable companion animals and give them a second chance

by supplying the funds needed for food, medical care and a warm place to sleep. Most of all, Pet Peeves helps nonprofit rescue groups and shelters give these desperate animals a chance to find a new family and home through adoption programs.

Through its grant process, Pet Peeves provides funds for spay/ neuter programs, low cost and free clinics, medical supplies, trap-neuterreturn [TNR] programs for feral cats and Safe Haven Programs.

The organization is also an avid

supporter of pet therapy programs and continually seeks to raise funds and awareness of the programs that bring companion animals into hospitals, nursing homes and schools. It actively supports Humane Education initiatives that provide workshops, seminars and lectures geared to children and their families who own pets, are considering owning a pet, or have avoided pet ownership due to misconceptions or lack of information.

Pet Peeves would like to thank Bethpage Federal

Credit Union for its support as the presenting partner of this year’s Unleash the Love! Luncheon. For more information on sponsorships, individual tickets and donations, please visit www.petpeeves. org.

Mrs. Lastorino will be honored at the Harvard Club of Long Island’s annual University Relations Luncheon on April 15, along with 11 other teachers from across Long Island, including Brentwood High School teacher Rebecca Grella.

Following the award ceremony, Harvard Professor Michael Klarman will lecture on The Framers’ Coup: The Making of the U.S. Constitution. A renowned legal historian and constitutional law scholar, Prof. Klarman will discuss questions that still resonate today: why so many features of our constitution insulate the national government

implements Harvard’s Instructional Rounds throughout the district.

Instructional Rounds is a practice adapted to education from the field of medicine that offers a structure for educators to work together to solve common problems and improve their practice.

Mrs. Lastorino said she is proud that through teaching she is able to give back to a community that has given her so much.

“I always encourage my students to set goals and to think about their futures. It’s important that they know that it’s never too early to think about the future and nothing is impossible,” said Mrs. Lastorino.

“Mrs. Lastorino is the teacher that has had the greatest impact on me, starting in 6th grade,” said Reeda Iqbal, a former Brentwood High School student who is expected to graduate from Harvard College in 2021. “Mrs. Lastorino taught and continues to teach her students the importance of the quote ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world’

by Mahatma Gandhi. That quote continues to inspire me at Harvard, as I look for new ways to impact the communities around me.”

“She stirs conversations about college, goal-setting,

and career planning with her students, which is crucial for students in Brentwood,” said Ms. Iqbal.

“Without Mrs. Lastorino, I truly do not believe that I would be the person I am today and would not have accomplished the many things that I have without her constant guidance.

I carry with me all of her lessons.”

When Superintendent of Schools Richard Loeschner learned of this award, he said, “There are so many wonderful things I can say about Ms. Lastorino.

She is undoubtedly a master teacher whose positive attitude, love and concern for children, and outstanding manner of motivation and communication of course content are reflected in the superb quality of education she has consistently provided for her students.”

“Ms. Lastorino has earned the respect of her students, staff, administrators, and parents alike. She has a warm and caring manner that has touched the lives of many, and she clearly makes a difference every day,” said Mr. Loeschner.

At the ceremony on April 15th, the Harvard Club of Long Island will announce the Distinguished Teacher of 2018 who will also receive a scholarship for a “Harvard experience”

at the Harvard University campus in Cambridge, Mass. Past winners of the scholarships have enhanced their teaching by sampling the resources available to Harvard students: meeting with faculty; visiting research laboratories, rare book archives, and specialty museums; and enjoying visual and performance art. The scholarships are funded by contributions from Harvard alumni living on Long Island.

This year’s 12 Distinguished Teacher Award winners were nominated by current Harvard undergraduates and then selected by Harvard Club of Long Island board members.

This year’s award winners teach economics, English, history, math, physics, chemistry, science research, and Spanish.

The winners teach in the Bellmore-Merrick, Bohemia, Brentwood, East Meadow, East Williston, Herricks, Hewlett, Lynbrook, Manhasset, Mt. Sinai, and Roslyn school districts.

This is the first year that the Harvard Club of Long Island is honoring Brentwood Union Free School District teachers.

Laura A. Lastorino of Brentwood West Middle School has been named a “Distinguished Teacher of 2018” by the Harvard Club of Long Island.

“This award honors teachers who transform lives,” explained Dr. Judith Esterquest, Harvard Club of Long Island Chair of the Distinguished Teacher Selection Committee.

“Devoted teachers like Mrs. Lastorino offer Long Island students deep expertise, extraordinary talents, and countless hours of attention. By capturing the minds and imaginations of our children and preparing them for challenges that were unknown even a few decades ago, these teachers shape the future of our

from populist political influence, why the Philadelphia convention was so unrepresentative of national opinion, and why ordinary Americans approved a scheme that drastically reduced their political influence.

After graduating from Brentwood High School in 1987, Mrs. Lastorino earned an associate’s degree from Suffolk Community College, a bachelor’s degree in teaching from Dowling College, and a master’s degree from SUNY Stony Brook. She returned to Brentwood to complete her student teaching and started her teaching career in the Brentwood Union Free School District in 1993. She initially taught at Pine Park Elementary School and Southeast Elementary School but since 2003 has taught sixth grade at Brentwood West Middle School.

For the last 10 years, Mrs. Lastorino has been one of the chair people for her building’s school improvement team. As a co-chair, she organizes many building events that get students and their families’ involved in after-school events and coordinates schoolwide fundraising. She is also part of a district-wide committee that plans and

Used Car Buying Online (NAPSI)—A recent study

by Interactive Advertising Bureau shows that 96 percent of consumers begin their car search online. In fact, millennials spend as much as 12 to 13 hours researching cars

online before making the decision to buy.

Buying a used car requires even more research and there are lots of places online to do so. Here are four points to help you avoid wasting

time.

1. Know what you want.

Have a budget and clear idea of the type of car that’s right for you first.

Use online reviews, too.

Getting pulled off track will overcomplicate things.

Learning Life Skills

Islip High School students in Renee Clock’s career skills and internship course have been learning transferable workplace skills within the Town of Islip’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs. Mary Pat Klueber, who is the executive assistant to Commissioner Tom Owens, meets with Clock and the students several times a week to assist the high schoolers in learning skills needed to

succeed in the workplace after high school.

Taking charge of the department’s warehouse, the Islip students organized, categorized and counted equipment used for the town’s youth after-school and summer programs. They are now in the process of creating a working inventory system for these items.

“The students have been applying decisionmaking, critical thinking,

organizational and mathematical skills during this internship,” Clock said.

“We are appreciative to the town for providing this real-life work experience for our students. Their participation in the education and work experience of our students is a perfect example of a school-to-business partnership. Ms. Klueber has been paramount in creating this workplace environment for our students.”

The students also intern within the town’s offices at Brookwood Hall in East Islip, which also houses the Islip Art Museum and Islip Arts Council, and assist with special assignments.

“Ms. Klueber and I vary the work experiences for the students to give them exposure to the numerous job skills that are required to perform the many jobs within this department,” Clock said.

2. Where you shop can be just as important as what you buy. Choose reputable websites and dealerships where vehicle history information is readily available.

3. Get a good handle on

what the car you’re looking at is worth. That way, you’ll know when a bargain looks too good to be true.

4. Find the cars you want and avoid the ones you don’t by starting your search using vehicle

history at Carfax.com.

Choose 1-Owner, no reported accidents and more, plus every car there comes with a free Carfax Report.

Purple is for Positivity East Islip High School recently celebrated P.S. I Love You Day with positivity and teamwork.

The event was sponsored for the second consecutive year by the school’s student council, with help from members of several other clubs including the Gay-Straight Alliance, Key Club, STARS and the literary magazine. In preparation for the event, East Islip students cut out purple hearts that were

displayed in the main lobby and made hundreds of purple ribbons that were distributed to students and staff.

“It was our goal to have as many clubs as possible come together to make this a success,” said adviser Jessica Pignataro. “We hope to make it bigger and better every year.”

P.S. I Love You Day was started in 2010 by West Islip teenager Brooke DiPalma, following the

tragic suicides of her father and a senior at her school. The event is held annually on the second Friday of February to promote positive messages of love, acceptance and community, symbolized by the color purple.

In attendance was Islip Town Councilman Steve Flotteron, who spoke with the students about the day and his personal connection to the DiPalma family.
