Eighth Graders at OAS Give Back to Local Charities
CRANFORD — Eighth-grade students from Cranford’s Orange Avenue School (OAS) dedicated a day in May to give back to local charities. Stations were set up throughout the school where students rotated to make sandwiches for the homeless, shelter bags for transitional- housing facilities, birthday bags filled with everything to make a birthday cake, and cards for veterans. They also collected diapers and wipes for mothers in need.
