The Bayview Avenue School in Freeport celebrated its 11th annual American Red Cross Read-A-Thon. Second-graders raised nearly $1600 by soliciting pledges from family and friends. The more they read, the more they raised.
In a special assembly, students wearing red and white Read-A-Thon sashes sang songs and recited poems honoring the work of the Red Cross and the importance of reading. Proud students presented a giant check for $1588.85 to Richard W. Dalrymple, chief executive officer of the American Red Cross in Nassau County. Mr. Dalrymple presented plaques to the three top fundraisers, Skye Carranza, Dominique White and Alex Gold. |
