The Lynbrook High School National Art Honor Society (NAHS) proudly announces the success of its Super Pins online art auction, which raised over $1,500 in total. From this amount, a $1,000 donation has been made directly to the Camp ANCHOR Program Fund, supporting the camp’s mission of providing year-round recreational programs for individuals with special needs.
The Super Pins Art Auction was a vibrant showcase of student creativity and community spirit. Featuring more than 30 upcycled bowling pins — generously donated by Maple Lanes in Rockville Centre — each piece was transformed into a colorful character sculpture by NAHS members. From classic heroes like Wonder Woman to notorious villains like The Joker, the pins celebrated the imagination, complexity and fun of comic book icons.
“This project was a wonderful way for our students to use their artistic talents for good,” said Michael Kunz, NAHS advisor and art teacher at Lynbrook High School. “Not only did they create incredible works of art, but they also helped raise funds for two causes that mean a great deal to our community.”
All proceeds from the auction will support the Lynbrook NAHS’s programming and service efforts, as well as Camp ANCHOR — short for “Answering the Needs of Citizens with Handicaps through Organized Recreation” — a beloved Town of Hempstead initiative that fosters inclusion, friendship and fun for children and adults with special needs.
NAHS recognizes high school students who demonstrate outstanding artistic ability, academic excellence and a commitment to service through the arts. Events like Super Pins reflect the organization’s mission to inspire creativity and give back to the community.
Lynbrook NAHS extends a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who donated, bid, or purchased a Super Pin. Your support helped make this project both a creative triumph and a meaningful contribution. #OwlProud #OwlCares
