Sylvan Avenue Elementary School Hosts Annual Food Drive

Press release from Bayport-Blue Point School District:

Nov. 24, 2020

In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, Sylvan Avenue Elementary School held its annual Thanksgiving food drive to benefit local community organizations.

This year, instead of taking place inside the school, the drive was run out of the district’s courier van, which was decorated for Thanksgiving and parked in the parking lot during morning arrival so that the students could drop off their donations before heading to class.

School nurse Angela O’Leary was stationed at the van each morning, dressed up as a turkey and spreading Thanksgiving cheer.
