Miller Place Elementary School Collects Food for the Community

The Miller Place School District’s Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School recently collected nonperishable food for local community members in need during the school’s recent food drive. Students in third, fourth and fifth grade collected soup, rice, boxes of dry food, canned vegetables, pasta, beans, jelly and cereal. After collecting hundreds of food items the students packaged it in dozens of boxes for delivery to local shelters for families in need.

The purpose of this event was to enable students to give back and raise student awareness about important issues like hunger in the community. This is part of the District’s ongoing initiative to help students be conscientious, active contributors to society and their communities.
