Impressive Haul for Moorestown Teachers' Sandy Donation Drive
The Moorestown Education Association may organize a second, holiday-themed drive next month for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Moorestown teachers hauled four vehicles and a trailer full of donated items to Stafford Township, just outside Long Beach Island, Thursday to help victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Upper Elementary School (UES) teacher Matt Stuart said roughly 25 to 30 people dropped off items at the school Thursday morning. Those items were added to the abundance of donations turned in by faculty members Wednesday.
About 25 teachers were on hand at the UES to help load up Thursday morning, and several took the road trip to Stafford to distribute the items, which included water, cleaning supplies and gas cans.

"It was a great turnout," said Stuart.
He said the teachers will hold another donation drive early next month to collect toys and holiday decorations for families along the Shore, "cause this is going to be ongoing for them."
