​Westfield Students Fill Wish List for Hospitalized Children

WESTFIELD, NJ — The Student Council of Roosevelt Intermediate School in Westfield went on a shopping spree on Feb. 28 to purchase children’s toys and baby items for the Children Specialized Hospital in Mountainside.

The Student Council, which includes sixth, seventh and eighth graders, raised $1,000 during a fall fundraiser to fill the wish list created by the hospital’s long term care unit. On March 3, all of the purchased items, including a gift card, were delivered by students.
