Ms. Deborah Vieira and Ms. Lisa Celentano's fourth grade class at Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School organized a Thanksgiving food collection that filled two blessing boxes for Rocky Point-based Long Island Lending a Helping Hand.

Ms. Vieira is grateful for the families who contributed to this important cause and shared special words for her students for their efforts in spearheading the endeavor.

“This class is incredible,” she said.
