About:

The social responsibility of corporations is an important message in the Business Management class at Wantagh Middle School, and students recently put this lesson into practice with a pair of community service activities.

Teacher Nancy O’Connor said eighth graders in the elective course learn different ways in which businesses can give back to their communities. The class is essentially a business, as students run the school store. With the holidays approaching, it was a good time for them to perform some acts of service.

Eighth graders made no-sew fleece blankets for the Ronald McDonald House in New Hyde Park, which provides families with a place to stay and other services while a child is being treated for cancer at New York area hospitals. They also helped out a charity right in their own community, collecting toys and games for the Wantagh-based John Theissen Children’s Foundation, which is in the midst of its annual holiday toy drive.
