On Sept. 18, members of Amityville Memorial High School’s National Art Honor Society unveiled their Unity project.

In collaboration with the high school’s art teachers, the honor society crafted large, colorful letters which spells unity out of papier-mâché. Now on display in the school’s art wing, junior and honor society member Elidi Laquidara said that the project was created with the hope of bringing people throughout the school community together.

“We thought that this would be a great way to bring students together,” Laquidara said. “We’re hoping that this will bring unity to the school.”

World Peace Day occurs annually on Sept. 21 and is dedicated to peace, nonviolence and the goal of a day of ceasefire. On Sept. 20, the high school’s National Art Honor Society students will send their wishes for peace in the world during the school’s daily announcements.
