And we are back !

It's been a long crazy week without power, hot water and limited food and gas. But, we are back and very thankful. Think of all those families that are homeless and living in high school gyms.  The district is having a food drive for Long Island Cares.  There will be boxes at the entrance of the middle school for donations.  I would donate a generator if I had one ! Breaks my heart to see what Sandy has done to many families. 

School is open tomorrow and lunch will be served. What's for lunch 11/5/12 ?
