Commack High School Interact Club students met with members of the Commack-Kings Park Rotary Club for pizza and conversation on Tuesday, May 31. Debbie Virga, coordinator of the Interact Club and Commack HS Superintendent of Curriculum Dr. Adele Pecora participated in the lively conversation.
The Interact Club is sponsored by the Commack-Kings Park Rotary Club. Interact members work independent of the Rotary but adhere to the principles of fairness, concern and being charitable. The Interact Club leadership board met with the Rotarians talking about past activities and activities for the future.
The students were excited about the prospect of working with students in the newly established Interact Club at Kings Park HS.
Accomplishments in 2015/16 year included: Two Commack Interact students went to Cambodia during the summer of 2015 where they worked with young women teaching swimming skills and self defense. Other events the students participated in are food drives, coat drives, special olympics and a Halloween Dance for people with special needs.
Rotarians were impressed with the commitment the club members show to the school and their community. Commack-Kings Park President Joanne Davis and incoming President Arthur Olmstead were joined by Rotarian Alex Paykin at the informal pizza/discussion event. “The Interact students are awesome. We are proud of their accomplishments and look forward to working with them as they do more wonderful things.” said Joanne Davis.
