Elwood-John H. Glenn High School students participated in the second Habitat for Humanity build in Riverhead on March 18, assisting with painting, tiling, laying laminate flooring and even moving a shed to comply with Town of Riverhead setback guidelines. When completed, the house that students assisted with will be owned by David, a Vietnam veteran who is taking care of his disabled brother.  

Every year, the Habitat for Humanity Club supports this great cause with two days of “sweat equity” and monetary contributions from proceeds made during the annual Thanksgiving cheesecake sale.

Elwood-John H. Glenn High School’s second annual Career Day was an incredible success. The school partnered with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office to organize the event, held in the gym, cafeteria and hallway on March 27. Students took part in hands-on activities, learned from leaders in their fields and were exposed to numerous future career opportunities from cosmetology, nursing and robotics to politics, the military and law enforcement.

“Thank you to the Elwood community members and staff who presented and helped to manage the day, for sharing your stories, career paths and words of wisdom,” Assistant Principal Lindsay Fritch said. “We look forward to working with you all again in the future.”
