District students have greeted the holiday season with various food drives and donations for families in need.

The Jr.-Sr. High School’s National Honor Society and Junior Honor Society donated to Long Island Cares through the Lion’s Heart service group. The members also collected food outside the Manorville, Eastport and Center Moriches King Kullen grocery stores on Nov. 1 and Nov. 8.

Dayton Avenue School’s community also showed what it truly means to warm hearts while filling shopping carts. The students, staff and faculty participated in the school’s annual Turkey Trot Food Drive, bringing in cans, boxes and pantry items to support the local Presbyterian Church Food Pantry. Sixth grade volunteers helped to deliver the donations.

With grateful hearts and generous hands, the district’s students made a meaningful difference for families in need this Thanksgiving season.
