A few GRANDTASTICALLY BRAVE volunteers from Grand Avenue Middle School offered their community service at the Lions Club Polar Express Children's Holiday Event held at the Brookside-based Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District Central Office on Dec. 3.
This year, Grand Avenue partnered with the Lions Club to do some good for kids and families. The annual Polar Express event provides gifts and necessities collected from charitable donations to forward to children of need in the Bellmore-Merrick community and around Nassau County.They work with Nassau County social services, local elementary schools, charities, and houses of worship to help bring joy during the holiday season.
A GRAND shout-out goes to Matthew Goodman, Declan Haugh, Gabby Vayman, Michael Miele, Steven Zweigbaum, Jessica Weiss, Gavin Steele, John Hanovic, and Anthony Fisher for very generously offering their time to set up for the event on 12/2 and service the event on 12/3. Their hard work, efforts and smiles were very much appreciated by all.
A special thank you goes out to CHSD board of education president and the NBUFSD board of education trustee, Nina Lanci, for spearheading the charity endeavor. We are grateful for her partnership.
