The class presented the town with a total of $1,050 ($1,020 check and $30 cash) for the Back to School Backpack Program.

“We were overwhelmed by their generosity and cannot thank the Class of 1965 enough for such thoughtfulness,” said First Selectwoman Lisa Pellegrini. “They are just wonderful people.”
