Bowling Green Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Jennifer Abshire’s class spearheaded a schoolwide toy drive this holiday season.
Staff and students made various donations to the cause and the class raised $2,000, which was used to purchase holiday gifts. The class later traveled with parents and staff to Toys “R” Us in Carle Place to purchase arts and crafts, LEGO toys, as well as educational items including board games and puzzles. Funds were also used to purchase other items, including hats.
To assist with the effort, fourth-grade teacher Carly Cutrone’s class created labels which were placed on the gifts. In addition, third-grade teacher Alison Gallina’s class wrote holiday greeting cards to accompany the gifts. All gifts will be donated to families within the Bowling Green Elementary community.
