‘Tis the Season for Giving

Central Boulevard, Charles Campagne, and Kramer Lane Elementary Schools each held a program called “The Giving Tree.” Parents and staff members were asked to donate warm winter clothing for distribution to the needy.

The names of families that participated to this kindhearted effort were placed on paper ornaments, which adorned holiday trees set up in each building. An overwhelming number of generous individuals resulted in some very bright and decorative trees! Families gave hats, gloves, scarves, coats and more, filling several boxes in each school.

School Social Worker Mrs. Sarah Glassman coordinated the program at Central Boulevard, while Mrs. Barbara Marcucci, also a School Social Worker, facilitated those at Charles Campagne and Kramer Lane. Mrs. Glassman and Mrs. Marcucci brought the donations to the Interfaith Nutrition Network in Hempstead. It was a wonderful way for the community to come together and keep spirits high through their generosity.
