Rye Neck 6th Graders Give Flowers To First Responders
The students have already begun discussing what they can do next to let volunteers know they are appreciated.
MAMARONECK, NY — Rye Neck Middle School sixth-graders delivered more than 80 paper tissue flowers to first responders at the Westchester County Convention Center on Valentine’s Day. The flowers were given to nurses, National Guard members, clinicians, first responders and other volunteers who are helping in the distribution of the new coronavirus vaccines at the state-run site.
“The sixth graders were excited to say Happy Valentine’s Day and thank you to the volunteers who are helping to provide COVID-19 vaccines,” said Allison Reynolds, a math teacher and sixth-grade adviser.
“COVID has changed their lives, it has changed all of our lives, and they know that the vaccine is the greatest step towards a return to normalcy that they can ask for,” she said.
