About:
Northside Elementary School in the Levittown Public Schools, recently held its traditional Thanksgiving food drive. Students, families and teachers throughout the school donated hundreds of assorted food items to help Northside families in need during the holiday.
The staff contributed monetary donations to purchase gift cards at local food stores for turkeys, while third-grade teacher Theresa Heaney and her students sorted the various cans, bags and boxes of food.
In addition to the students, families and teachers who made a difference, the success of the Thanksgiving food drive was also due to the efforts of head custodian Bob Mehm, school nurse Cara Rutzel, social worker Samantha Romano and Principal Frank Mortillaro.
