About:
Members of the CMS school store club had the opportunity to wrap presents on Monday to be delivered to Stony Brook Children’s Hospital.
All CMS school store proceeds from the 2023-24 school year were donated to the charity of the students’ choice, with the group voting to donate to Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. Students also crafted cards to send well wishes to patients.
“It’s such a rewarding experience to give back to the community,” Cherney said.
CMS school store advisors Diane Cherney and Donna Tufano will deliver the package of gifts in early June.
“This group worked really hard all school year to be able to give something back for kids who are not able to be in school,” Tufano said.
The CMS school store club meets biweekly, and provides students with the basic understanding of entrepreneurship, from job applications to the importance of customer feedback.
