Mineola learners from throughout the district are showing true holiday spirit by spearheading toy drives to help brighten the holidays for those less fortunate in our community.

From the students at Mineola Middle School to the littlest learners at Meadow Drive and Jackson Avenue schools, students spearheaded successful toy collections for charities that ensure that all toys will benefit families right here on Long Island.

These initiatives not only benefit sick and underprivileged children but teach lasting lessons to our learners at all grade levels, including kindness, compassion and the importance of community service.
