SIT Initiative Huge Success! Lloyd Harbor Adopt a Family
This year, Lloyd Harbor SIT (School Improvement Team) organized one of its largest fundraisers to date, making it a huge success! Staff and students alike, along with family members contributed food and monetary donations for an “Adopt a Family” initiative in collaboration with Parish Outreach-Trocaire Food Pantry of Huntington, that provided 20 local families in need with a complete Thanksgiving dinner (including the purchase of a turkey). Every student in each class at Lloyd Harbor was assigned a particular item to bring in (many brought duplicates!) which were assembled in large blue bags to be distributed. Interim Principal Valerie Massimo shared, “We deeply appreciate your continued support and believe that involving students in this meaningful act of giving will create lasting memories and foster a spirit of generosity.” The parent community not only contributed to this initiative but donated additional items for the student council’s annual Thanksgiving Food Drive as well. The generosity and kindness of this community is truly remarkable and unmatched. Thank you to the SIT committee faculty teachers Michelle Indrieri and Angela Genova and SIT parents: Ms. Bachman, Ms. Comber, Ms. Iravani and Ms. Vorderis, who purchased all the turkeys through donations, and delivered each complete Thanksgiving dinner bag for 20 families to Trocaire of Huntington. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
