to November 23rd. Boxes were placed in the front of the library with
the names of different teachers on them. These teachers volunteered to wear a
turkey hat if they received the fewest donations. Mrs. Georgina Van Zandt, a
Global Studies Teacher, received the fewest donations and had to
wear the turkey hat all day on November 24th. Ms. Allison Kane, the
Advisor of Key Club and Social Studies teacher, received the most cans, a title
that was highly desired by many teachers. Runner-up Mrs. Jackie
Murolo who started a lotto where each student who brought in cans was entered
to win a lunch from Se-Port Deli. Over 600 food items were donated in total. The
food will be given to the Daily Bread in Saint James, as well as local families
within the school district that are struggling financially. Key Club, the
largest student run service organization in the world, boasts over 200
members at Ward Melville.
