Cooke community receives back-to-school donations - Monticello Central School District

As students start their new school year at the George L. Cooke School, they were greeted with generous donations, such as folders, composition books, pencils, markers, tissues, glue sticks, book bags and much more. These donations came from the United Methodists Church of Monticello, Restoration Church in Monticello, Sullivan Correctional Facility, the NAACP and Mrs. Devantier of Livingston Manor.

Four adults stand behind five elementary students. In front of them is a table with many school supplies — Principal Chris Palmer, Sandra Johnson Fields President of the NAACP, Elaine Williams Secretary, and Assistant Principal Melanie Hector, are with Cooke students Patreese Maddox, Mohammed Njie, Andrew Hollenbeck, Brennan Young andMolly Corce. All are grateful for the group’s donation.

The students at the Cooke School greatly appreciate all the supplies that were donated and would like to thank all the organizations that supported them this year.
