About:
Deer Park students in the John F. Kennedy Intermediate School classrooms of teachers Heather Ciurleo, John Colford, Jenny Dixon, Joseph Verdicchio and Jennifer Zylberberg spent time last month creating care packages for those in need during the holidays. Students decorated bags, which were filled with scarves, gloves, hats, toothbrushes, toothpaste, chips and hand sanitizer. They also wrote notes to include in the packages. Bags were later donated to Community Presbyterian Church in Deer Park. “We wanted the children to realize how important it was to also give back to the community during the holidays” said Ciurleo.
