Each year, just before Thanksgiving, the students at the Great Neck Public Schools Adult Learning Center organize a donation drive for a local charity. This year, participants collected unwrapped toys for patients at the Cohen Children’s Hospital.
Members of the Adult Learning Center Student Council are shown here with some of the donations to support the Child Life and Creative Art Therapies Program for children fighting terminal illnesses.
Joining them are Superintendent of Schools Teresa Prendergast, Director of Human Resources Jennifer Kirby, Director of Adult Basic Education Errin Hatwood, Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Education Stephen Lando, Assistant Superintendent for Special Education and Pupil Services Joseph Hickey, Assistant Superintendent for Business John Powell, Board of Education Trustee Rebecca Sassouni, Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Education Kelly Newman, and Board of Education Trustee Donna Peirez.
