Dancing the night away at Hewlett High School

Posted

The Hewlett Leaders Corps sponsored its second annual Fall Bash on Nov. 3 for special-needs students at Hewlett High School and a dozen other schools including Lynbrook, East Rockaway, Mineola, and New Hyde Park. Hewlett High’s Bulldog Buddies, a student organization, also attended the dance.
About 100 students danced and sang the night away in the gymnasium. Food was brought in from several eateries.
The community was able to come together and help the children with special needs from all the different schools, according to event organizer Abby Samlin of Hewlett High School.
“It was so great to see all the students with special needs connect and get to know each other throughout the night,” she said. “Everyone had a great time at our Fall Bash, and we can’t wait to host it again next year.”
