Westport Students Participate in Coleytown Middle School's Annual Giving Assembly

The following announcement about the 2016 Annual Giving Assembly is from Coleytown Middle School:

For more than 40 years, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, Coleytown Middle School students and staff have gathered the day before Thanksgiving to present donations of food and funds to many area not-for-profit organizations during the Annual Giving Assembly.

This year, the Coleytown Middle School community gave their thanks to the Westport community by donating over 2,000 items of food, boxes of school supplies and hygiene kits and more than $4,300 in funds, which were collected during the month of November to help the underserved in our area.

CMS student representatives presented their gifts to representatives from seven organizations: Homes with Hope, Saugatuck Congregational Church, Westport’s Department of Human Services, Al’s Angels, Connecticut Quest for Peace, Westport Animal Shelter Advocates and the Make-A- Wish Foundation.

In addition to the presentations, CMS’s instrumental and vocal music groups added music and entertainment to the occasion.
