Bretton Woods Students Help Feed the Hungry

Mrs. Trapanotto's third grade class recently made a food donation to the Long Island Cares Food Bank.

Inspired by song lyrics written by Tom Chapin, brother of Harry Chapin, the third grade class at Bretton Woods Elementary School recently donated food to the Long Island Cares Food Bank.

The students attended the 2nd Annual Concert for Children's Hunger Awareness, which featured Tom Chapin and friends and brought donations of non-perishable foods to help stock the food bank. 

“Tom’s song lyrics focused on nutrition, healthy food choices and how we can help fight against hunger in our communities,” said Pamela Trapanotto, Bretton Woods 3rd grade teacher.

 “The concert was lively and interactive. Most importantly, the students felt proud that they were involved in helping feed hungry children right here on Long Island," she said.
