    Mineola Union Free School District congratulates our learners from Hampton Street School for their successful Toy Auction which raised $1,256.25 to help families in need.

    This will be added to the “Hampton Families in Need” collection, which has raised over $4,400 through fundraisers and events during this school year. This money was distributed to 32 local families in time to help brighten their holiday.

    The toy auction was part of the school’s “HELPERS Who Give” community service project. Students were given money for being a helper at home. They used that money to buy raffle tickets at school to win toys. All money raised was donated to the school’s charitable initiative.
