In the schools: Clarkstown South students raise Make a Wish funds; more

Guests braved the dreary weather to support a fundraising dinner Feb. 29 at the Jesse J. Kaplan School.
The dinner coordinated by the Rockland County Welcome Committee and the Nanuet Lions Club raised more than $3,000 to support scholarships for Rockland BOCES adult English as a Second Language (ESL) students who are continuing their education through a CareerTrack program.
The buffet-style meal featured five family recipes from BOCES ESL students: Carmelle Mehu Milien and Dunie Ferdinand from Haiti, Regina Rivas from the Dominican Republic, Rolando Martinez from El Salvador and Matanat Imanova from Azerbaijan. The recipes were chosen from the “Bring Your Ancestor’s Best Family Recipe” contest open to upper level ESL students.
