Fourth and fifth graders from Millstone River and Village schools are following the district’s mission and making a difference in the world. These students participated in “National Make a Difference Day” in partnership with the Points of Light Foundation. Organizers included Village teachers Eileen Beam, Carol Murphy, and Kristi Baur; and Millstone River teachers Marianne Macnamara, Amy Coffey and Tori Coffey.
Before the event Barbara Thompson, director of the Trenton-based Doorway to Hope, spoke to the students about the individuals who will be greatly served because of the district-sponsored coat drive. The organization provides housing and services to homeless and underprivileged families.
Participants included students, staff, and parents. The WW-P students collected 346 coats to be donated to Doorway to Hope.
