About:
In honor of Sept. 11, Justin DeMaio’s class at West Islip’s Bayview Elementary School conducted Operation Goodie Bag. Each student wrote two letters and decorated two bags, which they also filled with candy. The bags were later distributed to friends and family members who are part of a police department, fire department, nursing or the armed forces.
“We chose these people because they are true heroes,” said DeMaio. “We never want to forget the people who lost their lives on that dreadful day in 2001 and we want to make sure that anyone who helps others is in fact worthy of hero status.”
