To the Editor:
Recently, my family collected Halloween candy from local residents to be sent to our soldiers who are overseas. On Veteran’s Day, I helped to sort and package the candy along with my brother and sister and my cousin.
I want to thank Ms. Mirabito and my 6th grade homeroom class at Old Hammondtown School for bringing in candy for this cause. I also want to thank the many local residents who also donated.
Every year since 2012, we have been donating candy to the troops. This year we shipped over 150 pounds of candy! My family enjoys doing this, and we are proud to be part of such a special little town.
Thomas Galavotti, Mattapoisett
