From the West Islip School District: The Helping Hands Club at West Islip’s Beach Street Middle School recently conducted another successful bake sale, continuing the club’s service projects for this school year. Earlier this winter, the students spent hours making holiday cards for deployed service members, local veterans and children at St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. The club held food drives for both Thanksgiving and the December holidays, and were able to assemble and provide seven West Islip families in need with numerous boxes of food and supplies.

“This club works year-round to help spread positivity and make a difference in our school community,” said Principal Andrew O’Farrell.
