About:
The Meadow Drive School community, part of the Mineola Union Free School District, raised more than $2,800 this fall for JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes. The JDRF walk is held annually and has become an international effort, raising nearly $5 billion for researching a cure and supporting the Type 1 Diabetes community. Several Meadow staff members and students participated in the official JDRF walk in October.
