Robert Frost Middle School was a recent recipient of the Jovia Financial Credit Union and Long Island Nets basketball team partnership’s third annual Back-To-School Donation Drive. The school received $5,000 worth of supplies for students including novels, backpacks, sports equipment, and board and card games for indoor recess. Nets mascot Dale and representatives from the Nets and Jovia visited Robert Frost on Sept. 20, and treated the middle schoolers to a fantastic dance party to celebrate the delivery of the supplies.

“We are so honored to be chosen as one of only two schools on Long Island to receive this generous donation from Jovia Financial and the Long Island Nets,” Principal Dr. Eliana Levey said. “The best part of the experience was the visit from the Nets and their mascot Dale. Our students were so excited. We are looking forward to building a strong relationship with both community organizations and plan to participate in their Islandwide Education Day in February. Seeing the joy on our students’ faces, and now being able to support our students and parents with school supplies to ease financial burdens when we can, is just incredible.”
