About:
Throughout the month of October, members of the West End Elementary School student council hosted “Sock-tober,” a community sock drive to collect new socks for children and adults in need. To spread awareness on the fundraiser, the members created posters publicizing the event. At the conclusion of the sock drive, 650 pairs were donated to the Soup to Nuts Kitchen, Bethany House, and the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless.
“We are so incredibly grateful for our generous families and their donations for Sock-tober,” student council co-advisor Melissa Kulikowsky said. Added co-advisor Nicholas Swing, “We are very thankful to the Lynbrook community for making this project such a success.”
