Families, teachers, staff and students at Manetuck Elementary School came together in support of a meaningful cause during October. The school community participated in a breast cancer awareness fundraiser to support the West Islip Breast Cancer Coalition’s Lend a Hand program. With each donation, participants received a pink ribbon that was proudly displayed on a wall of hope in the building, serving as a powerful symbol of support and solidarity. Thanks to the generosity of the school community, the initiative raised nearly $500 to assist local individuals and families affected by breast cancer.
