About:
On May 19, members of the Lakeside School Student Council teamed up with John F. Kennedy High School’s Student Government to bring some love and color to the Hewlett House, a community resource center supporting Long Islanders battling cancer.
Together, they spent the morning pulling weeds, turning over soil, and planting vibrant annuals and perennials.
“We were so excited to spruce up this special place, knowing our efforts will bring smiles to the faces of the patients who rely on its services,” said Student Council faculty adviser Soo Becchina.
