Bellmore Students Team Up To Fight Hunger

Student council, RAK Pack collect boxes of food to help less fortunate at Thanksgiving.

Bellmore’s fifth grade student council members collaborated with the RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) Pack Club to focus their efforts on those in need and collected nonperishable food items prior to Thanksgiving. It was part of the district’s character education program.

Under the direction of RAK Pack Club advisor Christine Davison and student council advisor Jen Eicholz, the students hung decorative posters throughout the school’s hallways to advertise their cause. The result was boxes of food sent out to needy families throughout the Bellmore community.
