Students in the Early Act Club at Kennedy Elementary School collected toys for the Roxbury Rotary Club to bring to the New Brunswick Children’s Specialized Hospital.

A Roxbury student who had been hospitalized there when she was younger with a pain disorder came to help pick up the gifts.

“She couldn’t believe that Kennedy collected over 300 holiday toys for sick children,” said Courtney Forsman, club co-advisor and LLD Teacher at the school.

Gianna Benedetto and Trinka Sullivan, Kennedy’s Early Act president and vice-president, helped organize the event along with Early Act Leaders and Teachers, Mrs. Forsman, Miss Banta and Miss Szigeti.
