With $5 each from every teacher in the school district, the Lawrence Teachers Association collected $1,300 and used that money to purchase 40 turkeys, potatoes, stuffing, cans of vegetables, dinner rolls, bottles of apple juice and cans of cookies.
Teacher and student volunteers packed the items in baskets on Dec. 22 at the Number Two School and the food was donated to 40 families — eight from each of the district’s five schools —for Christmas dinner. The LTA has conducted this food drive collection for the past 15 years and is assisted by the Five Towns Community Center.
