This December, students in Vinal Technical School science teacher Brenda Devereux-Graminski's class adopted a Middletown family that needed help brightening up the holiday season.
Playing Santa, these area students from Middletown's state school made a toy box, collected gift items, wrapped and placed them in stockings, along with enough food for a holiday dinner, and with Michael Rogalsky, delivered them to the family on Dec. 21.
Vinal Tech has in the past helped out veterans and adds another dimension to students' philanthropic deeds.
