‘Service Above Self’ for High School Interact Club
Cold weekend weather didn’t deter the High School’s Interact Club from
taking part in cleanup efforts at Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck in Center Moriches.
The students, rakes in hands, worked collaboratively to help ready the
facilities and grounds for next year’s participants. The camp’s mission
is to enable children and young adults with physical or developmental
disabilities to enjoy a safe and quality program of summertime camping,
recreation and education.
The Interact Club students were accompanied by adviser Deidre Filippi
and members of the Rotary Club of Port Jefferson and Rocky Point
Rotarians in their annual efforts to assist the greater community
through service projects.
“This community service activity offers students the opportunity to see
how combining their effort with their peers and members of the community
can result in very positive outcomes,” said Filippi. “Interact Club
members are learning at an early age that they can positively influence
people around them and that is truly rewarding to see.”
