State Rep. Jeffrey Roy, D-Franklin, and state Sen. Richard Ross, R-Wrentham, were at the school Friday to present the children - members of the student coun- cil - with citations honoring their work. Assistant Principal Sarah Klim said the council had come up with the idea, wrote a proposal for it, decorated a collection box and designed fliers adver- tising the drive. “We’ve been collecting for the last two weeks,” she said. “Earlier this week, they petitioned the school to make (Friday) a pajama day (in honor of the drive).” Colleen Pritoni, chairwoman of the charity Friends of Foster Care, was on hand to collect the items garnered during the effort. She said these pajamas and socks will be paired with other donated goods and given to children as they go to new foster homes. “We have a program where people donate brand-new backpacks,” she said, adding that the pajamas and socks would be put in the backpacks along with some personal hygiene articles. “The idea is that kids are moving to a foster home - it would be nice to give them something brand-new.” It is impossible to anticipate what any given child will need when entering the system, Pritoni said, but the drive is a nice show of support. Pritoni said she was very happy about the results. “It’s amazing - I’m so impressed,” she said. “The student council really advo- cated for this.” Ross and Roy handed citations to council members. Afterwards, Ross complimented the thoughtfulness of the students. “It’s very meaningful that, at an early age, they’ve learned to give back,” he said. Roy told the students that a small group of committed people can change the world. He said he was “thrilled” by their efforts. Several members of the student coun- cil - fifth-graders Griffin Tolonen, Vansh Batra, Dylan Jacobson and Isabella Car- migani - said after the ceremony that they were pleased with the way the drive went. “It’s kind of like a reassurance,” Tolonen said of the items the foster chil- dren would receive. “It’s a big thing to lose your parents.” Batra said it would be nice to contrib- ute some happiness to those children. Jacobson said he was surprised by the number of the donations the drive received. Carmignani said she thought the drive resulted in “some good.” —Mike Gleason can be reached at 508- 634-7546 or mgleason@wickedlocal. com.
