The student council at Waverly Park Elementary School in the Lynbrook School District organized a school-wide drive of goods for the needy during the Week of Giving. The three-day collection was sent out on Nov. 24 before the students began their Thanksgiving break.

Each day of collection followed a theme for donations. On Monday, students brought in new toys, on Tuesday, they brought non-perishable foods and on Wednesday, they brought hats and gloves.
