Under the direction of Kathy Rein, National Junior Honor Society students organized an effort asking our student body to bring in supplies to donate to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Grade levels were designated particular items to focus upon based on the needs of the victims. The supplies collected created 69 school supply kits along with many other items (pencils, paper, construction paper and notebooks) sent along separately. We also created 88 health kits and sent extra band-aids, toothbrushes and combs. This school wide effort will help out over 157 people/families that are in need of supplies and support. With a little friendly home room competitions, special recognition goes out to Mrs. Sevey's home room who brought in 210 items and Mrs. Pawlewicz's home room who brought in 109 items! Way to go students!
After collecting all the items, the NJHS students boxed them up into kits. Special thanks also to some special people at National Grid who are getting our supplies downstate by Thanksgiving! Our supplies are going directly to Rockaway Beach.
