About:

Islip High School’s Keep Islip Clean club – which includes student athletes- celebrated its 10th annual Pond Day event on a balmy May 20, engaging in environmental activism and important beautification projects. This year, students continued to rebuild a swale drainage system leading into Pardees Pond next to the school’s tennis courts. A swale filters rainwater from the parking lot before it runs off into the pond. Toxins, pollutants and oil from cars will be removed from the water as it trickles back into the pond and drains to the Great South Bay. Additionally, students painted and installed duck nesting boxes in the pond, beautified gardens in front of the building and in the courtyard, and planted an herb and vegetable garden in the courtyard as well. The KIC club is affiliated with the Town of Islip’s Keep Islip Clean program. Each year, high schools across the town elect junior commissioners who are sworn in during an official ceremony. These students represent their community by sharing projects with other students from across Islip during monthly meetings. Through this leadership program, students serve their community and act as positive role models for others. For the 2015-2016 school year, Islip High School has seven junior commissioners who serve as KIC club officers, often guiding other students in the club and assisting club adviser Wayne Mennecke.
