On May 2nd and 3rd,
Washington Street School's Building Team Kids, accompanied by faculty advisors
Janet Goldstein, Christine Hanratty and Kate Hayden, visited the Ronald
McDonald House in New Hyde Park. Families who have a child admitted to the
nearby Cohen’s Children’s Hospital are able to stay at this facility during
their child’s hospital stay. Our
students were treated to a tour of this incredible lodging and then had the
opportunity to utilize the cooking stations in the kitchen to prepare brownies,
cupcakes and other desserts for the families staying at the facility. The
students and teachers enjoyed preparing the desserts for others. A special
added bonus was seeing the smiles on faces of families returning from the
hospital when they discovered the treats waiting for them. The students can’t
wait to return to create more culinary treats for these families! Thank you to
our Building Team Kids for showing, once again, that at Washington Street it's
always Cool to Care!
