PHOTO: Valley Road School Spreads Holiday Cheer
Students sent holiday messages to cheer hospital patients in Rahway.
The Valley Road School Student Council rallied their entire school to deliver holiday cheer to Rahway Hospital this month.
After composing and delivering Thanksgiving letters to patients in the Pulmonary and Cardiac Rehabilitation Wards at RWJ University Medical Center in Rahway, students in the extra-curricular club extended the community service call to the entire school in December, hoping to get 70 letters to deliver for the holidays.
From Pre-K to 5th grade, Valley Road School doubled the goal. Club advisors Meredith Qualshie and Kristina Spirito delivered the holiday letters on Friday, Dec. 23.
