Xavier High School students help build house for family on Long Island through Habitat for Humanity
A group of high schoolers on Long Island coined a simple, but important slogan, 'Spread Love, not COVID,' to raise money for a great cause. "Normally, we try to look kind of far and wide and travel," Xavier religion teacher Greg Stelzer said. "We go to places like Tennessee or we've gone as far as Mexico and Ecuador. I think, especially because of COVID, it made sense to look for something local." Lee Silberman, the CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk, said this is the group's first time working with a high school from Manhattan. Typically, student volunteers come from Long Island.
