Massapequa High School Key Club Plays Santa
Students and staff at the school donated toys during a two-week period and delivered to the Amityville Head Start.
From Massapequa HS: Massapequa High School’s Key Club recently held a successful holiday toy drive, benefitting about 140 children at a local preschool. Students and staff at the school donated toys during a two-week period, which were then wrapped by members of the Key Club and delivered to the Amityville Head Start.
The Key Club is a service organization affiliated with the Massapequa Kiwanis Club. It has hosted the toy drive for more than a decade. Adviser Michael LaBella said students learn about the importance of doing for others through community-based projects.
“This is a time to be appreciative of what we have and to give back to the community,” said junior President Kayla Collins.

On Dec. 20, the Key Club visited Head Start to hand out gifts to the young girls and boys. Mr. LaBella dressed up like Santa Claus, and Key Club members sang Christmas carols.
