The girls with items they collected during their “Fight the Flames” drive.
Seymour Middle School students Reagan Kalish and Ashley White recently raised money to help a local family whose house was badly damaged by fire.
“The Fight After The Flames” quickly gathered monetary donations and items.
The girls worked closely with the assistant principal at the time, Ernie DiStasi, and the head of security, Mr. Richard Kearns, to get the victims of these fires the essentials they need.
