Atoms’ Donation of Diapers Featured on Local SYR
Thursday, May 27th, 2021—Over the months of April and May Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship elementary school students, faculty, staff and community members collected and donated 3,773 diapers to CNY Diaper Bank on Thursday, May 27th. This incredible effort and hard work did not go unnoticed and was in fact featured on News Channel 9!
“The idea for the Diaper Drive came about after a discussion among several staff members who were looking for innovative ways to give back to the local community that our students would feel passionate about,” said Hayley Merritt, Kindergarten teacher at Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship elementary school. “Many students welcomed siblings into the world this year and were excited about helping collect diapers for babies. As a result, our first annual Diaper Drive was launched. We selected the CNY Diaper Bank because of the large scale work they do to aid the community.”
