About:
Mineola School District is proud to recognize our Meadow Drive kindergartners who raised $460 to benefit Operation Smile, a non-profit organization that provides cleft lip and cleft palate repair to children in developing countries.
Upon learning about the organization and service they provide to improve the lives of children, the learners got to work planning a bracelet fundraiser. They made bracelets and even created a video commercial about the fundraiser that was shared with the school community.
Thanks to the generosity of parents and staff, the fundraiser was a success, and the learners were proud to donate all the money raised, $460, to this important cause.
The district would like to acknowledge our amazing kindergartner learners who worked hard to plan this fundraiser and their outstanding kindergarten teachers who inspired and guided them along the way, including Ms. Dilemme, Ms. Reyhanian, Ms. O’Malley, Ms. Silverman, Ms. Paulik and Ms. Andreuzzi.
