About:
Embracing the spirit of charitable giving, Woodland Middle School’s Yorker Club , which includes student-athletes, in the East Meadow School District recently donated $1,800 worth of toys to children of the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island.
Throughout the month of October, the club sold chocolate bars to the school community to raise money for their annual toy drive. The proceeds from the fundraiser were used for a shopping trip to Toys R Us in early December, where club advisers and members purchased a large variety of toys, from board games and headphones to toy cars, teddy bears and action figures.
On Dec. 16, the club’s members helped load the Ronald McDonald House truck with all the toys, which will be distributed to hospitalized children and their families to help them have a joyous holiday.
