Lynbrook High School’s National Art Honor Society held its annual “Night of the Pumpkins” event on Oct. 19, bringing the community together to celebrate the season while raising $1,500 in support of Island Harvest, a local organization dedicated to fighting hunger on Long Island.

The event, hosted at Lynbrook High School, featured over 200 hand-carved jack-o’-lanterns that illuminated the evening with creative designs crafted by NAHS members. Families and community members enjoyed a range of festive activities, including face painting, games and activities for all, making it a night of Halloween fun for all ages.

“The ‘Night of the Pumpkins’ was an incredible success, thanks to the hard work of our NAHS students and the enthusiasm of our local community,” said Michael Kunz, NAHS Advisor at Lynbrook High School. “We are thrilled to be able to contribute $1,500 to Island Harvest, an organization that provides vital support to families in need across Long Island.”

The funds raised will go directly to Island Harvest to support its efforts in alleviating hunger through food distribution, educational programs, and advocacy. The partnership underscores the commitment of Lynbrook High School’s NAHS to using art as a means to make a positive impact in the community.

Lynbrook High School extends its gratitude to everyone who contributed to making “Night of the Pumpkins” a huge success! #OwlProud #OwlCares
