About:

Gold, silver and colored stars decorate the main hallway at West Islip’s Oquenock Elementary School, proudly bearing the names of the “shooting stars” who donated to a special cause that will gift a tricycle to a local child in need. Many children in the community have physical and cognitive impairments that limit their ability to easily play with their siblings and friends. Oquenock staff and families focused on Share the Voice, a nonprofit program working to enhance the lives of disabled children, in order to make a difference. The school’s goal was to raise $1,500 for the construction of a tricycle featuring the necessary accommodations. The Share the Voice fundraiser ran through the month of November, with the goal achieved in just three weeks. As a result, a West Islip child with disabilities will now have the opportunity to ride with their siblings and friends.

“What a beautiful gift to give a child – the ability to enjoy their natural environments and gain independence and confidence” said teacher Nicole Cagno-Angerame, the math adviser who suggested that Oquenock implement the program.
