October - Sherburne-Earlville Central School District

Thanks to Hamilton Lions!Two years ago, John Butzge, a Hamilton Lion, as wellas a special education teacher in the Sherburne HighSchool, called and said that he had some backpacksthat could be donated for the Elementary BackpackProgram. When the backpacks were received, theywere full of wonderful school supplies that were givenout to students and teachers that needed extras forthe classroom. When the year was through a call wasreceived from Jen Servidio of the Hamilton Lions statingthat their organization would like to continue tohelp the Sherburne Elementary in any way they couldwith donations. It was decided that they would againprovide school supplies as well as backpacks for ourstudents in need.This school year, the Hamilton Lions outdid themselves!They asked for a wish list and said they wouldprovide what they could! That list was fully filledand received by the Elementary School to begin theyear! The list included items to be used for the literacybags that are provided to the incoming kindergartenparents at Kindergarten Information Night in thespring, for summer readiness and preparation forschool. There were items needed in the Nurse’s Officeto help our children that have a need for a changeof clothes, or extras during the swimming programin the Physical Education classes. There were manybackpacks needed for not only the Back Pack Programthat provided meals for weekends for some of ourfamilies, but also for those student that are in needof a backpack to help get through the year.The generosity of the Hamilton Lions Club isgreatly appreciated! Our students thank you as dowe all!Jen Servidio from the Hamilton Lions Club donatesschool supplies to Ellen Murray, Elementary Counselor.THE Maroon AND White 15
