A sea of red and green at Glen Cove City Schools

The Glen Cove High School gymnasium became a sea of red and green during the Glen Cove City School District’s annual Red and Green Games, a series of challenges and activities between all grade levels. Activities included a tug-o-war, dodgeball, obstacle courses, relay races and other team-building games. This year’s games marked the launch of the district’s World of Change Club, which challenges teams to collect the most loose change for local charities of their choosing.

“The Red and Green games are a chance for students across the district to come together for a night of friendly competition and comradery,” said Superintendent of Schools Maria Rianna. “The games are a great way to promote teamwork, sportsmanship, and physical activity among students, teachers and staff.”

This year’s winner was the Red Team, comprised of students who attend or graduated from Deasy or Landing Elementary School. The Green Team was comprised of students who attend or graduated from Gribbin or Connolly Elementary School. 

Students involved in the district’s World of Change Club chose to donate their collections to one of four charities, including The Safe Center in Bethpage, The Porch Pantry in Glen Cove, Guardian Angel in Glen Cove and La Fuerza in Glen Cove.
