Charity, Not Valentines, from These Youngsters [VIDEO]

First graders at Primrose Elementary team up with the Red Cross to create comfort kits for other local youngsters in need.

Though Stephanie Crispinelli passed away so young, her legacy at Primrose Elementary School in Somers—and throughout the Lower Hudson Valley—is an enduring one.

The young woman died while volunteering for earthquake relief in Haiti in 2008, and in her memory, a town tradition was born.

For the second consecutive year, the Crispinelli family, Westchester Red Cross and Primrose Elementary teamed up to create Steph's Comfort Kits—packages for youngsters who are the victims of fires, floods or other natural disasters.

For a closer look, watch the above video.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
