Locals Spread Holiday Cheer

toysLocals were busy this week lending a hand to those in need to make the holidays bright. Here are a few reports from around town. The Greenacres Community Service Committee held its annual toy drive. Families donated toys for their sister school, PS1 located in the Bronx. PS1 has 675 students and Greenacres students wanted to be sure each student would receive a toy this holiday season. Many Greenacres families donated two or more gifts. On December 14th, 5th grade students loaded all the gifts onto a bus and two students from each 5th grade class traveled to PS1 to deliver the toys in person.

The 34 runners formed the "Run for Hope" team, one of the largest. Collectively they raised over $1700 to benefit the Arthritis Foundation.
