Students Donate Boxes of Books, Supplies to Sandy Victims
Bergen County Sheriff's Office will transport supplies to Little Ferry schools. Schools and homes in that town were destroyed and severely damaged by Tropical Storm Sandy.
Students and parents from Theunis Dey Elementary School collected and donated a dozen boxes of books and school supplies for the Little Ferry School District recently.
Little Ferry schools were severly damanged by Tropical Storm Sandy earlier this month. Some school buildings are still not being used. Students are taking classes in other buildings throughout the municipality.
The collection drive was a collaborative effort between the school's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and school personnel.
