Question: Do you know where the Pronto Truck and Van were Wednesday afternoon?
Answer: Picking up all the food that the incredible Central Islip School District's Teacher Association had collected for Pronto for our Holiday Drive! Thank you so much for sharing in the giving so generously. Your district is a role model for all of us! There was so much food we needed both vehicles to transport it!
