Northwood High School students engage in community service and celebrate recent achievements
The Northport-East Northport Union Free School District Board of Education meeting on November 21, 2024, featured a report from the North Fork High School student organization, highlighting various community service initiatives and student achievements.

Senior Nathan Avtell presented on behalf of his twin brother, Charlie, detailing the recent volunteer efforts by Northwood High School seniors. Students engaged in community service activities, including cleaning local parks and beaches, visiting elementary schools, and collecting donations for the Northwood food pantry. This initiative is part of a broader community service program at Northport High School, which encourages participation from all grade levels.

Additionally, the Northport Student Union is collaborating with the Interact Club to organize a winter accessories drive, aimed at collecting items for those in need. The meeting also celebrated the accomplishments of 16 North Broad High School students who were selected to perform at the New York State Council of Administrators of Music Education All County Festival, a recognition based on their high scores among NISMA musicians in Suffolk County.

The report included highlights from the annual STEM Spooktacular event, where elementary students participated in Halloween-themed STEM activities guided by Northwood High School's STEM Club. Furthermore, students in the lead class at Northwood wrote and performed plays focused on Halloween safety for younger students, promoting good habits during trick-or-treating.

Athletic achievements were also noted, with the Northwood High School boys golf team winning the Suffolk County championship and the girls cross country team placing second at the New York State Class A championships for the second consecutive year. Additionally, members of the Unified Athletics and Best Buddies programs attended the Suffolk County Unified Youth Summit, where they engaged in team-building activities and shared experiences about the positive impact of unified athletics.

The meeting concluded with a transition to the superintendent's report, indicating ongoing discussions about the district's educational initiatives and community involvement.
