Members of Elwood-John H. Glenn High School’s National Honor Society, along with other students and staff members, participated in their first ever Polar Plunge at Crab Meadow Beach in Northport on Dec. 10. Students and staff raised over $5,700 to benefit the Special Olympics. John Glenn was bestowed with the honor of becoming the official 2023 Cool School Champion, an honor given to the school who raises the most money, and took home a trophy that will be held until next year’s Plunge competition.
“This was a great opportunity to raise awareness and money to benefit the Special Olympics,” NHS adviser Diane Locascio said. “Community service is at the heart of John Glenn High School, so why not have fun with it and make some lasting memories as well. I want to thank everyone for their efforts and support and I cannot wait until next year, so we can raise even more money and defend our title.”
