Merrick Students' Danceathon Raises Nearly $6,000
The students at Levy Lakeside danced their way to raising thousands for worthwhile causes.
From Merrick Schools: Kudos to Levy Lakeside School in Merrick for dancing its way to $5,854 in donations for two very worthwhile causes.
Lakeside School’s Student Council Crew organized a March 29 danceathon, in which fourth, fifth and sixth graders secured donations in exchange for dancing, all for the benefit of Phoenix House and Sunrise Day Camp.

Student raised $2,643 and $3,211 for Phoenix House and Sunrise Day Camp, respectively. Special thanks to the Student Council Crew for organizing such as wonderful
