South Bay Elementary School In West Babylon Needs Your Help!

South Bay Elementary School In West Babylon Needs Your Help!

My husband received this email from someone in his running group that is coordinating donations:

Hi All

Many of you have heard about the West Babylon school fire. The k-5 South Bay Elementary School was destroyed. It appears that books from one Kindergarten classroom may recovered.

 

We are fortunate that no one was hurt and classes will resume tomorrow at The Our lady of Grace Church.

 

I am reaching out to everyone, especially my teaching colleagues, for donations of classroom supplies (for students and teachers), books, games, phys ed "stuff", "music stuff".

 

I know that we all contribute to various causes on a regular basis so please don't feel obligated.

 

Lightly used "stuff" is fine. This may be a good time to purge the kids bookshelves.

 

I can be reached at home 631-484-6859, cell 631-484-6859

at The West Babylon HS 631-376-7100 vm 7967

 

I live in the area and can easily coordinate a pick up.

 

Thank you as always,

Dana

South Bay Elementary School In West Babylon Ravaged by Fire

South Bay Elementary School In West Babylon Ravaged by Fire

Last night a fire destroyed 2 of 3 wings of this beloved elementary school that educates 400 children, Kindergarten through 5th grade. It continued to rage for 6 hours into the wee hours of the morning today.

A gas line exploded in the cafeteria and the boiler room may be to blame.

It is not clear if the children will attend that school come this Monday.

A volunteer fire-woman, Christine Manzi, teaches at the South Bay Elementary School and has said, "there will be a "big adjustment" for children and adults alike. She said the classroom is a teacher's "world," and contains things that can't be replaced.

A new library was built in the school recently. Since this school is only a few blocks from where I live, I was able to pass it and the outside of the building in the front looked fine. I can't even imagine what it looks like on the inside right now.

The one saving grace to all this? The school is closed this week for Winter break. It's times like these that we have angels or some other outside force watching out for us.

I was able to catch the Channel 2 News helicopter that was hovering overhead of our house:
