Council for Unity working proactively against gangs

Members of the Council for Unity at RHS work together to keep RHS a peaceful learning environment for all of the school’s students, to erase lines of division among its student body, to promote tolerance and to strive for unity. This year, in addition to the Council for Unity Club, which meets as an after school club, RHS also offers a History/English elective, which follows the national curriculum written for the Council.

New members in the Council for Unity Club are inducted in June, after completing the curriculum. They are working together to keep our schools safe from gangs.

“I like Council because it brings all the students together without looking at only our ethnic backgrounds,” shares Quadre, the Council President.


On April 21, 2009 the Riverhead Council for Unity Organization, with the Parent Community Organization, received a Proclamation at the Riverhead Town
Board Meeting this past week.

 This Proclamation was issued to all of the participants who helped in the town wide graffiti  clean up day which took place on march 28, 2009.  This clean-up
was a tremendous success and we hope to get more people involved with
the next clean-up day in Riverhead.

Kids took the leading role in town-wide graffiti cleanup
Students hit the streets to clear scrawlings
By TIM GANNON |STAFF WRITER
Riverhead's graffiti problem was met head-on Saturday by 42 Riverhead School District students and 44 community members armed with rollers and white paint.
