Herricks Students Help Hungry Neighbors

The district is proud to highlight the Human Relations clubs from Searingtown, Denton and Herricks Middle School who delivered for the local community by collecting hundreds of pounds of food and supplies to benefit St. Aidan’s Food Bank in Williston Park.

Searingtown Elementary has proudly participated in this food drive for over 10 years. Last year, the transportation department joined the initiative, lending their support by helping to transport the collected goods. This year, to further strengthen the sense of community both within and around our schools, Denton Avenue and Herricks Middle School were happy to join the partnership and lend a hand to help hungry and homeless Long Islanders.

Right before Thanksgiving break, the students, with help from our administrators and transportation team, personally delivered the food to St. Aidan’s, even helping to sort and stack the items on the food bank shelves.

The eagerness our students possess to help other and give back to the community is truly inspiring! This initiative is a wonderful opportunity to collaborate as a district, build community spirit, and make a real difference for those in need.
