John Street School ISP students sold ice pops during lunch hours, from March 25-27, to raise funds for local non-profit organization Nassau-Suffolk Autism Society of America. The non-profit’s mission is to support individuals with autism in the local community.

The school raised $820, with all proceeds going to NASA to help provide free educational, social and recreational opportunities.

Support local journalism by subscribing to your Blank Slate Media community newspaper for just $50 a year.

Additionally, John Street School invited families to complete a puzzle piece for a hallway display in honor of World Autism Awareness Day on April 2.
