Islip High School video production and broadcasting students Olivia Auerbach, Cailin Egan, Afzal Khan, Natalia Nalbone and Katharine Placa recently earned fifth place in the national Greatest Save Teen PSA contest, sponsored by KinderVision, a charity of Major League Baseball. In the Greatest Save PSA contest, high school teens create, script, film and edit an original 30-second public service announcement on a chosen topic.

After being named Long Island regional and New York State winners, Islip’s students and their “Not Alone” video were selected by the Greatest Save/KinderVision board as national finalists. This is the fourth time that Islip technology teacher Mike Reilly’s video production and broadcasting students have won their region, and in 2022 they finished in the top three in national voting.  

“Everyone did an excellent job this year,” Reilly said.
