SALISBURY TOWNSHIP, LEHIGH COUNTY, PA (WLVT-TV) - The fight against covid-19 is bringing people together in different ways. Many are trying to do their part to help the community around them, that’s exactly what they’re doing at The Swain School in Salisbury Township.
Head of School, Shannan Boyle Schuster, says they’ve taken up a baby monitor collection for healthcare workers at Lehigh Valley Health Network. “A few weeks ago, it came to us that through a former parent who works at LVHN, that they could use baby monitors, so that the health care workers don't have to go in and out of the rooms so much that they can use the monitors to communicate. So you know, it was pretty easy. We put a notice out to our families and had them drop them in a box outside the school and deliver them," says Boyle Schuster.
Although they will continue to collect the monitors, the head of school says they are starting a new initiative each week. This week the focus is on Meals on Wheels with the Greater Lehigh Valley and Boyle Schuster says “that's either to supply gloves and masks so that the people collecting and delivering the meals can be safe or it's actually to volunteer to help deliver meals because I know that they are in need of extra drivers.”
Future community service efforts at The Swain School aim to assist The Rescue Mission in Allentown.
