About:
South Street School students in the Eastport-South Manor Central School District have been demonstrating their philanthropic skills through two collections in March.
The South Street Shines Club collected blankets and towels for the animals at Little Shelter Animal Rescue and Adoption Center in Huntington and the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation in Hampton Bays.
Students also collected cereal boxes for the school’s fifth annual Cereal Drive and Domino Drop event. Faculty lined up the 718 boxes of cereal prior to Principal J.M. Jackson knocking over the first box, causing a domino effect throughout the school’s hallways as students cheered. The cereal was then distributed to the Helping Makes U Happy organization.
