Creations Learning Center Provides Meals, Food Pantry Supplies

The Sayville early childhood school helped make Thanksgiving a great holiday for Sandy families.

Patch thanks Lisa Walker for sharing this story and great photo!

Despite some very difficult days in Sayville following Sandy's arrival the storm's wrath did not effect the outpouring of generosity from Sayville families and organizations.

The Creations Early Childhood Learning Center collected donations to supply Thanksgiving dinners to families in need. Donations included gift cards for turkeys, cans and cans of vegetables, fruits, cranberries and gravy in addition to potatoes and stuffing. 


Junior Girl Scout Troop 1294 from Cherry Avenue then took all these items and made Thanksgiving meal baskets for families of four.  The effort provided 25 families with a Thanksgiving dinner and stocked the pantry at St. Lawrence the Martyr Parish Outreach. This once again shows how wonderful a community Sayville really is!

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
