East Football Creates PSA for Town of Brookhaven
Promotes recycling as part of Keep Brookhaven Clean program.
The Sachem East football team has learned a great deal about community service over the last few seasons under the guidance of head coach Brian Harvey and his staff.
Through a program Harvey calls, "Leadership Through Service," his team participates in various activities around the community that show the football team's efforts fall far beyond the field.
Last week the team was honored by Town of Brookhaven as part of a Public Service Announcement program promoting recycling and keeping Brookhaven clean.

"It's great," Harvey said. "We get everyone involved."
