This year, Roosevelt had a tremendously successful holiday gift drive due to the tremendous efforts of Capital Blue Cross and the Lehigh Valley Labor Council. These organizations recruited many supporters who decided to donate gifts for Roosevelt families. This initiative culminated in an event where the donated gifts were delivered to Roosevelt via a police and fire truck escort, where many volunteers were waiting to unload the gifts into the school. The donated holiday gifts were distributed to families during Roosevelt's annual Holiday Gift Shop program, where families are afforded the opportunity to "shop"" for items for their children. This year the program supported over 100 students. Read the story on WFMZ.com.
