There is still time to lend a helping hand to a district student by gifting supplies ahead of the new school year through the #GiveBackpacks program. You can go to the Bayville Free Library or Locust Valley Library to pick up an apple with instructions, and return with a new backpack filled with pens, pencils, markers and more before the deadline on Friday, Aug. 15. If you have any questions, please contact Cyndy Ergen at (516) 628-2765 or Paola Diaz at (516) 671-1837.
