Supplies for success at Glen Cove High School

Over 1,000 students are primed to start the school year at the Glen Cove City School District with the tools they will need to learn and thrive thanks to the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association, the Glen Cove PBA and Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton who worked together to hand out backpacks and school supplies at the Glen Cove High School on Aug. 29.  

To ensure that children within the district have the same opportunity as others to start the school year prepared, this drive-through event distributed free backpacks donated by the Nassau County PBA. Each bag given to the students was filled with classroom essentials including notebooks, pens, and crayons valued at roughly $30.  Parents received free Covid-19 test kits as well. 

The supply drive initially began in Westbury in 2019, and quickly grew in popularity during the pandemic.
