Eagle Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society at School 28 completed their Second Annual coloring book and crayon donation to the Oncology and Hematology Unit at the St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital in Paterson. Through their fundraising efforts, students purchased and donated about 60 coloring book and crayon sets for use by children who are receiving cancer treatments. The idea for this service came about because the students wanted to help children in the greater Paterson community that are suffering in the hopes that the small item would brighten their day.
