Locust Valley students bring Santa to town for a good cause

As part of their International Baccalaureate program project, Locust Valley High School seniors Ella Crocco and Gianna Palleschi held a food drive on the morning of Dec. 20 where students had the opportunity to take a picture with Santa, Mrs. Claus, elves and others if they donated canned goods.

The donated food items will be delivered to NOSH Food Pantry in Glen Cove for distribution during the holiday season.

As IB diploma candidates, Crocco and Palleschi participate in C.A.S. projects or Creativity, Activity, Service experiences demonstrating their leadership in the community throughout their two years in the program.
