All-School Coat Drive

Written by

We collected more than 150 coats for our donation to the Mental Health Association of Nassau County and NY Project Hope. Students reflected on the coat drive at our Lower School gathering. “We want the people who are struggling with their mental health to know that we care about them,” fourth grader Tommy Dorego said. “We hope that these coats and our pocket notes help them stay warm and feel cared for." Our lower school donated 74 coats of 150 total coats that were collected.
