A notice sent to district parents and other concerned citizens:
Friday, March 19 at 4pm, parents, families and residents in the community will meet at the baseball field in Hecksher Park and march to Town Hall. The purpose will be to insist on action to combat violence in the community and to see visible signs of revitalization in Huntington Station.
The recent shootings, including a 21-year-old shot last night at the train station, have urged the community to come together and take back it's town. This is after another shooting last Friday March 12th, 2 blocks away from Jack Abrams Intermediate School in Huntington Station(45 minutes before dismissal). Seeking leadership from Town Hall, this peaceful march aims to communicate the urgency of improving the community.
Be there & bring signs! This march is strictly about investing in the community and combatting violence!
