North Bellmore Students Collect Toys For The Needy
The students will donate the toys to a local charity, and send some to Texas for Hurricane Harvey victims.
Students at Saw Mill Road Elementary School in the North Bellmore School District want all children to have a happy holiday season. The Students Against Destruction Decisions club, under the leadership of social worker Ellen Perrick, organized a toy drive.
Toys will be donated to the local John Theissen Children’s Foundation to benefit youngsters who are hospitalized during the holidays. Some items will also be sent to Texas for families who were affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Members of SADD made posters that were hung throughout the school to encourage their peers to make a donation. They also made announcements and decorated collection boxes in the lobby. The toy drive runs through Dec. 20 and the students said they hope it is a success so they can bring joy to others.
