Jacqueline Gottuso and Lindsay Tapke donated books to Marie Chisvette, a nurse at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. The Fair Haven students stocked and organized the bookshelves in the children's wings at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch and the Booker Family Health Center at Jersey Shore. They donated some 200 books to the hospitals as part of a Knollwood School social action project titled Kids Helping Kids. The classmates came up with the idea of helping sick children by giving them books to read and wrote letters to corporations asking for cash or book donations, and then the students donated the books to the hospitals. With the cash donations received, the girls were able to purchase books for all age groups, from babies to young adults, including some Spanish-language books.
