About:
Bethpage students throughout Central Boulevard Elementary School participated in a schoolwide Thoughtful Thursday project on Feb. 15. Each student decorated a brown paper grocery bag for a local King Kullen. On the bags, they drew colorful pictures and wrote positive messages to bring a smile to the face of the shopper who receives it. The goal of the project was to help spread positivity throughout the community and students had fun being able to showcase their creativity.
