JQA Primary School Socktober Drive Warms Hearts As Well As Feet

DEER PARK, NY — During October, students and staff at John Quincy Adams Primary School participated in a "Socktober" clothing drive.

The second grade student council collected many pairs of socks to donate to those in need within the community, school officials said.

“The support and contributions from the Deer Park community are truly appreciated and will make a strong impact, providing warmth and comfort to those in need,” Associate Principal Dr. Lynn Coyle said. “Socks are always the least donated item and will be greatly needed as the colder months approach.”
