Donations Needed for Community Garage Sale

A group of eighth graders from Commack Middle School are holding a community garage sale on April 13 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. to help Long Beach residents and students pick up the remaining pieces from Hurricane Sandy - and they need help.

Donations are being accepted at Commack Middle School at the following times:

Wednesday, April 10: 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. 

Thursday, April 11: 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Friday, April 12: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The students formed the group, "Teens Take Action," which will host the event at the Middle School.

"Our students have truly taken the lead in organizing all facets of this event and have coordinated this effort with another Middle Years Programme school, Cedar Park Middle School in Beaverton, Oregon," Anthony Davidson, Principal of Commack Middle School said.

Davidson added that about 50 students from Long Beach Middle School will also be in attendance to work alongside the Commack students on April 13.

The group is also organizing a car wash the same day, weather permitting. 

Suggested donations include:

• Baby Items
• Holiday Goods

*Clothing and books will not be accepted.
