     Students from Center Street School and Searingtown School in the Herricks School District recently helped Senator Jack M. Martins (R-7th Senate District) bring some extra holiday cheer to children in need. 

     The students collected hundreds of toys for Senator Martins’ annual holiday toy drive to benefit children in Winthrop-University Hospital. Senator Martins visited both schools to pick-up the toys and personally thank the students for their efforts.

     “It’s wonderful to see these students work so hard to help other children in need. Every toy they collected will bring smiles to the faces of families who are going through tough times. They did a great job, and I thank them for helping to make this program a success,” said Senator Martins.

Senator Martins thanks students from Center Street School for their hard work in collecting toys for his annual toy drive. They are joined by Principal Brennen Bierwiler and staff members Janine Gentile and Margaret Keffas.
