A season of giving in full force at Edna Louise Spear Elementary School
As part of their commitment to community service, Edna Louise Spear
Elementary School students have created several initiatives this
November to give back to their local community and aid those in need
this holiday season.
Students are working together to collect and organize
food for donation to 10 Port Jefferson families in time for
Thanksgiving.
Organized since 2002 by school counselor Jessica Peterson, the goal is
to bring students, teachers and administrators together to make a
difference for local families. Donated items as well as food cards to
local supermarkets will be accepted until Nov. 15 and delivered to the
recipients in time for a festive and healthy holiday meal.
“It’s a great school project and the students and their families look
forward to sharing their generosity with others,” said Ms. Peterson.
