Deer Park School Helps Give Back to Make-A-Wish

Staff and students at JFK Intermediate School recently lent a helping hand to a young boy who wanted to give back to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

John Ginatotti, whose mother, Angela, teaches at the school, was granted a wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and decided that he wanted to help out the organization in return by hosting a toy drive. 

The community quickly jumped in to help, collecting donations through various donation drives. A large amount of toys were collected and distributed to sick children.

To thank John and the JFK communtiy for their efforts, Make-A-Wish representatives recently visited the school to present them with congratulatory plaques.
