A Community that Cares
The Three Village Central School District recently sponsored the Fifth Annual Contractors for Kids 5K Run/Walk at R.C. Murphy Junior High School to benefit families of chronically ill children in need of support. This year, the district’s Health and Wellness Council coordinated with the 5K run to simultaneously host an exciting districtwide Health and Wellness Fair. The event featured a wide assortment of local health-related vendors and over 1,200 participants.
Proceeds from the fundraiser were used to benefit 15-year-old Michael Hubbard of Riverhead, who suffered third-degree burns on over 40 percent of his body during a family barbecue.
Through the combined efforts of the day’s events, approximately $37,000 was raised to benefit Michael’s family and others like his.

Minnesauke Student Leaders
Five students in the fifth grade at Minnesauke Elementary School were selected to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference (JrNYLC) in Washington, D.C. These five students, Victor Costigliola, Jose Mena, Dylan Pallonetti, Madison Poggi and Jordan Stair, were nominated because of the leadership potential they demonstrate in their school. They will have an opportunity to further develop this potential during the six-day conference they will take part in during the summer. The goal of the conference is to empower and inspire students for future leadership by having them examine the leaders of the past. Through the development of their skills, they will be able to impact their schools and communities in positive ways.
