Massapequa Students Show Their Generosity In Food, Book Drives

Students throughout the Massapequa School District have been involved in numerous acts of kindness recently. While the holidays are typically known as the “season of giving,” the charitable acts have continued at a strong pace into the new year.

Berner Middle School’s Chiefs Challenge club held its annual Souper Bowl fundraiser in the two weeks leading up to the big game. There were two large boxes in the lobby representing the Kansas City Chiefs and

the Philadelphia Eagles, and students and staff could place nonperishable food donations in the box of the team they expected to win. Not surprisingly in a community that’s also home to the Chiefs, the box for Kansas City had the most food. Donations were given to Island Harvest.

Members of Chiefs Challenge, advised by Caroline Glynn and Juliette Happe, decorated the two boxes and made posters to hang around the school to promote the drive. They

also provided facts about hunger on Long Island for the daily announcements.

Seventh grader Ty Miranda said that large amount of donations shows how caring everyone is at Berner. He enjoys helping out the community by working on charitable drives throughout the year.

“We just need to give back and make sure everyone has something to eat,” he said.

Added seventh grader Meaghan O’Brien, “We’re a town that comes together

to help people out.”

McKenna Elementary School also had a successful Souper Bowl fundraiser. The drive was spearheaded by the Ambassadors Club, led by teacher Lauren Annarumma. Students and staff donated 1,017 cans of food, exceeding last year’s total by nearly 100. Donations were given to the parish outreach center at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Massapequa Park.

“I’m very proud, because everyone contributed and

people who don’t have enough money can have food now,” fifth grade Sabrina DeVito said.

At Lockhart Elementary School, the student council’s breakfast food drive, ran through Feb. 17. It coincided with Valentine’s Day so students and staff could “share the love” by donating cereal, fruit cups, oatmeal and more for the food pantry at St. Rose of Lima Church in Massapequa. The student council is advised by Diane Bacheller.

Birch Lane Elementary School’s student council, under the direction of Kelsey Downey and Casey Russell, hosted its second annual drive for the Book Fairies. Students could donate new and gently used books for the nonprofit organization, which distributes the books to under-resourced communities on Long Island and in New York City. Ms. Downey said the goal is to exceed last year’s total of 1,974 books.

Clients come to Canine Companions because of their reputation, the quality of their dogs, the experience of their training sta and the desire to lead a life with greater independence.

the puppies are old enough to enter their professional training program, they head to one of their six regional training centers, located in Northern California, Southern California, Texas, Ohio, New York and Florida.

The organization typically places between 325 and 375 service dogs per year. Once a dog has completed professional training, it is ready to be matched with a person with disabilities. The match is made at one of their regional training centers during Team Training, a two-week group class.

During Team Training, students learn to manage the service dog’s behavior, to direct the dog to respond to commands it has learned and to assume responsibility for maintaining the health and well-being of the dog. Each dog can really make all the di erence in the life of its new partner.

A Canine Companions service dog can not only open doors, pick up dropped items, turn on the lights and alert its partner of important sounds, but they can also increase confidence and independence.

February 15, 2023, was a very sad day for the American Venice Civic Association. It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the passing of John Vogt. John was the driving force of our Civic, and he was an Executive Board Member and President. John lost his fight with Cancer and leaves behind his wife Candida, daughter Nicole 29, son Robert 27, and daughter Emily 25. His passion for his community was second to none. He was a great leader who spent all of his time working on making his home community, The American Venice, a better place to live. John tried his best and fought long enough to see the beginnings of the improvements here in the Venice that he started. It hurts our Hearts that he did not get to see the

completion of the Living Shore Line in the West Venice, the raising of the roads, and also the reconstruction of the “Circle” in the Grande Canal.

John also volunteered his talents to the Copiague Kiwanis Club as a board member and as secretary, Boy Scout Troop 284 Copiague leader and he was a member of the Sunnyside

Chamber of Commerce - Business Improvement District.

John was a giving man, not only with his time but was known to help financially if a person was down on their luck. John was a gentleman, a true friend, a great team player and all around wonderful man that will be missed terribly.

There will be a memorial service held on February 28, 2023, 5 PM - 9 PM at the Massapequa Funeral Home, located at 4980 Merrick Road, Massapequa Park, NY 11762. The Vogt family request that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made in John Vogt’s memory to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Research, Boy Scout Troop 284, or The Copiague Kiwanis Club. Please bring your fondest memories of John to share.

Hunger Affects All Family Members

Continued From 21

Pet Pantry by Long Island

Cares has helped distribute over one million pounds of pet food, all of which has been donated through pet food drives like this one and corporate donations.

“Unfortunately many beloved pets are placed into shelters or given away because families cannot afford the necessary food and supplies,” added Supervisor Saladino.

“When struggling families

have to make choices to heat their homes, buy medication or feed their own families, pets can become an afterthought.

Pet food drives like this one can be a real lifesaver for both pets and their families.”

Those interested in supporting the Town’s Pet Food & Supply Drive can place donated items in drop-off boxes located in the following Town of Oyster Bay locations:

Town Hall North, 54

Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa

Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center, 1001 Stewart Avenue, Bethpage Regular business hours for the locations are Monday – Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. For more information, visit www.licares.org or call Esther Alter in the Town’s Public Information Office at (516) 624-6380.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino announced that the Town is seeking counselors for its 2023 Summer Recreation Program. The six-week program provides a rewarding employment experience for counselors as they work with children and make a difference.

“This great summer job is ideal for residents age 16 or older who are looking to build their resume. Our summer recreation counselors get real-world experience while having

fun, making memories, and making a difference in the lives of others,” said Supervisor Saladino. Applicants must be available for the duration of the program, which runs from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, beginning July 5th through August 11th. Summer Recreation Program participants take part in trips, tournaments, shows and athletic events, including the TOBAY Games, making being a counselor a great first job for many residents.
