Red Nose Day At Local Schools Help Fight Childhood Poverty

SHIRLEY, NY — It wasn't just clowning around.

Instead, it was caring for a good cause, as hundreds of William Floyd students participated in “Red Nose Day,” a nationwide fundraising campaign to support non-profit organizations that help lift children and young people of out poverty, "one nose at a time."

At Nathaniel Woodhull Elementary School, students and staff donned their red noses and headed out to the field for a school photo.

Joining hands and hearts, Nathaniel Woodhull raised more than $400 to help children suffering in poverty.

At William Floyd Elementary School, students and staff also took part in the charitable endeavor and act of joint caring, raising $238 for the cause. The William Floyd Learning Center also wore red noses to show their support of the fight against childhood hunger.
