About:
tudent council members from Levittown’s Abbey Lane Elementary School recently created 130 “Buddy Bags” to support The Joey Foundation, a local non-profit organization whose mission is to positively impact the lives of children.
With the help of student council co-advisers Vicki Bartolomeo and Lisa Wenz, the student council members collected donations from the school community to create the bags. Each “Buddy Bag” contained individually wrapped candy, plastic eggs and small toy items such as bubbles, sidewalk chalk and spring toys. The bags will be delivered to children at Cohen Children’s Medical Hospital and to underprivileged children to help bring a smile to their faces during this time of the year.
