LYCS Peer to Peer students were busy last week sorting the Hugs from Home – Valentine Edition Community Collection for Troops serving in Afghanistan. Students from Harrison School and senior residents at CareOne in Livingston made Valentine Cards to accompany the gifts. This was truly a community event spearheaded by LYCS Leaders, it brought together young and old in the season of love and friendship. In total 18 boxes weighing 377 obs 3 oz were sent overseas. These packages, donated by the generosity of the Livingston community is a small token of our appreciation to those who sacrifice themselves for our freedom, and who are far from home and family. LYCS (Livingston Youth and Community Services) is a community-based, after-school program that provides leadership, healthy life choices and life skill to students grs 3-12.
