About:

Across the Port Jefferson School District, students are doing their part to help raise awareness and funds for John T. Mather Memorial Hospital’s breast cancer outreach project, called, “Paint Port Pink.”

Throughout the month of October, students are building on the outreach campaign by raising awareness within their respective schools through fundraising efforts.

At the Edna Louise Spear Elementary School, students are collecting monetary donations in a large hourglass; Port Jefferson Middle School student council members are selling pink shoelaces and Frisbees; and Earl L. Vandermeulen High School’s varsity cheerleaders and student organization members are participating in a pink flamingo “flocking” fundraiser. The flamingo fundraiser raises money as community members provide a monetary donation to have the cheerleaders place a flock of pink, plastic flamingos in a neighbor’s yard.

“Through their participation in this community event, our students are being exposed to valuable lessons in community service and character education, as well as learn the importance of giving back” noted Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics Debra Ferry, who helped organize the district’s participation.
