Thanks for Giving at Babylon Elementary

Students collected hundreds of non-perishable food items for local families this Thanksgiving.

Educational lessons and community service projects centered on the Thanksgiving holiday at Babylon Elementary School in November.

Students and staff worked to make the holiday a bright one for others by contributing to the school’s annual food drive. As a result of the building’s overwhelming generosity, several boxes were filled to the brim with nonperishable items and delivered to local families in need just before the holiday.

Second-grade students fashioned Pilgrim and Native American hats and performed during their annual Thanksgiving feast. The event included several Thanksgiving-inspired songs and a healthy feast.
