Katrina

NEW YORK, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- A group of New York students will travel nearly 2,000 miles to spread holiday cheer to areas along the Gulf Coast. Students from the Hewitt School, an independent preparatory school for girls on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, have coordinated a toy, food and clothing drive which will culminate December 7 when they personally deliver their gifts to the region.

The holiday campaign, which started two weeks ago, will provide for the needs of families impacted by Hurricane Katrina and also will help brighten the holidays for local children by providing toys to displaced families that might not have the means to secure gifts for their children. To date, more than 1,200 new toys including dolls, games, books, sports equipment, stuffed animals and arts and crafts kits have been collected."
