On Tuesday, Nov. 21 at 9:30 a.m., over 1,000 students, teachers, administrators and staff of the Sayville High School unleashed the power of community service on their local community.

Working with partners including local nursing homes, Sayville Little League, Save the Great South Bay, the Long Island Maritime Museum, the Greater Sayville Civic Association, the Sayville Chamber of Commerce, Suffolk County and the Town of Islip and others, participants completed over 30 service projects.

The event was the brainchild of high school principal Ronald Hoffer, and a committee of teachers and administrators who have been working for months to develop projects designed to connect students to their community.

One of the projects took place in the high school’s media lab, where students collected videos and photos from the projects to create a celebration video.

These photos were taken at Broadway Fields on Sayville High School’s Community Connect Day.
