About:
Massapequa High School’s Team ECHO recently hosted its first benefit concert, 5Alive, which raised $3,000 for Winthrop University Hospital’s Cancer Center for Kids. The night was filled with joyful and inspirational music performed by Massapequa students, along with information about causes and cures for cancer. Information and inspiration is 5Alive’s touchstone. Team ECHO’s overall mission is to increase awareness about the far-reaching concerns of environmental toxicity affecting Massapequa. Students get involved with all facets of their natural home – the surrounding air, water, soil, species and the people of Massapequa and the surrounding region. The students designed an interactive Story Box, full of inspirational stories, poems and pictures and rich with plots about relatable characters developed for a elementary-level audience, and gifted to the waiting room at Winthrop Hospital.
