Day 30 - Krystel Anderson, Pine Glen Grade 2 Teacher

At Pine Glen School we decided that it would be really kind to help the people who live in the areas that were hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy. The Pine Glen Community is collecting items such as non-perishable foods, new blankets, new linens, new clothing, toiletries, cleaning supplies, etc. in the lobby area of Pine Glen School until Wednesday, November 21st. All the students at Pine Glen are excited to help and are extremely empathetic to the struggles people continue to endure on a daily basis. In addition to donating needed supplies my class has written ideas on how you can help. Please consider joining the efforts of the Pine Glen Community by donating to this worthy cause to help our fellow Americans who have experienced such devastation. This is great character education, especially at this time of year, and all of the Pine Glen students have shown such empathy towards these families.
