On November 20th the Commack Road Elementary School in Islip once again honored America’s troops and local families in need during their Night of Giving. Students and staff from CRES teamed up with the Sherwood Elementary School PTA, Girl Scout Troops 146 and 157, Cub Scout Pack 370, Brownie Troops 412 and 994, and Junior Girl Scouts, Chatterbox Preschool, and community volunteers to bag hundreds of pounds of candy and treats and write holiday cards that will be shipped to Afghanistan through the help of Kenneth Rummel, a Command Master Chief of the Navy. Other volunteers sorted and wrapped holiday baskets for 20 local families, so that their holidays would be complete with a delightful turkey dinner.
