‘Operation Snowstorm’ Helps Nearly 150 Children in Two School Districts
WATERTOWN — Nearly 150 children in two Lewis County school districts are staying warm this season thanks to a Northern New York Community Foundation partnership that helped provide much-needed winter clothing.
“Operation Snowstorm,” a collaboration with the Dyson Foundation, outfits students at Lowville Academy and Central School and Beaver River Central School with coats, hats, scarves, mittens, boots, and other necessary winter garments.
This winter, an $11,500 grant was split evenly between the two schools, which helped to warm 92 Lowville Academy students and 39 Beaver River students.
