A Special Thank You
To the students and faculty at The Darcy School in Livingston, NJ who took my essay in the New York Times ("A Storybook Ending" July 2002), on volunteering to help needy schools, to heart and raised $700 to help a New Jersey school.
The fundraising began with Margaret Hogan, age 9. Her mother showed her the essay back in July 2002 and in September Margaret was still keen to help others. Margaret involved her parents, teachers and grades 3 and 4 of her school to create crafts and sell them to raise the money.
Words have power and so do children.
Thank you. Keep up the great work.
With Love,
Lisa Suhay
