EAST MEADOW SCHOOL DISTRICT STUDENTS COMPLETE ARTS AND CRAFTS PROJECT FOR NUMC PEDIATRIC PATIENTS

The members of the Family and Consumer Science Class of Woodland Ave School, East Meadow School District, hand crafted book bags, filled them with age appropriate books and gave them out to the children of the pediatric unit of Nassau University Medical Center.

Arthur Gianelli, President/CEO of the Nassau Health Care Corporation, expressed his appreciation and gratitude to the students who had spent many hours working on their project: “Thank you for completing such a worthwhile project. Our pediatric patients were thrilled to receive such personally crafted book bags and the books provided them with hours of reading pleasure while they were recuperating in the hospital.”

The members of the Family and Consumer Science Class are hoping to get their hard work recognized in Newsday as one of their Future Corps Projects.
