Indian Hollow students are making a difference in the community … while only in first grade!

On Wednesday afternoon, for their spring community service project, the students designed door banners for the residents at St. Catherine’s Nursing Home in Smithtown.

The first graders at Indian Hollow have been working on community service projects each season. Their initiative is called, "First Graders Care."

During the fall, they made large murals for the Northport VA Hospital to thank the veterans for their service around Veteran’s Day.

During the winter, they sponsored a Pajama Drive and donated new pajamas to the children in the pediatric department at Stony Brook Hospital.

Wood Park students were recognized Wednesday morning by Long Island Cares for collecting $500 in coins for the charity.

Wood Park raised the most of any school during the "Wings of Change" campaign.

Founded in 1980, Long Island Cares helps the food insecure, such as by operating The Harry Chapin Food Bank.

Consistent with past years, the Commack Union Free School District has applied for a waiver of the school breakfast program.

for Business & Operations, P.O. Box 150, Commack, NY 11725.
