Sachem students, with the help of their social studies teachers, created more than 1,000 holiday cards for military personnel through the American Red Cross.
Struck with the idea while attending the Covey Leadership Symposium at Sachem North earlier last month, Sachem’s Assistant Superintendent Gail Grenzig mobilized quickly with the help of Sachem East Principal Lou Antonetti and Sachem North Principal John Dolan, as well as administrators from Sachem’s four middle schools.
“It was Sachem’s honor to take a few moments of our time to thank the military personnel who give so much time and service to our country,” Grenzig said. “It’s real touching to see and tears at your heartstrings.”
