'Chorus Cares' Delivers A Warm Message in Syosset

Submitted Syosset School District

Music students and members of the Robbins Lane Elementary School chorus, in the Syosset School District, recently held its “Chorus Cares” coat drive in anticipation of the dropping temperatures.

Throughout the month of December, students gathered lightly used coats and jackets, as well as food, and piled them up in music teacher Dr. Catherine da Silva’s chorus room. Once the goods are finished being collected, school officials will drop the coats off at a nearby One Warm Coat agency, while the food will be dropped off at Island Harvest. The coats and food will be distributed to needy families throughout Long Island.
