GST BOCES Heavy Equipment Program Students Help Family Service Society Make Some Children a Little Happier on Christmas Morning
Family Service Society, Inc. is very fortunate to receive many holiday gift donations. This makes it possible for many children to receive presents on Christmas morning. Last week, we had an especially impressive donation. Students (the seniors made the trip, but the juniors in the program also helped!) from the GST BOCES Heavy Equipment Program in Coopers stopped by our Princeton Ave. Ext. office with a whole fleet of heavy equipment toys that we will be able to distribute to children in need! Thank you to these students and their instructors in the Heavy Equipment program!!
