Long Beach Middle School students helped raise $426 for the Long Beach Christmas Angel charity. They sold LBCA bracelets this spring and gathered with Principal Dr. Paul Romanelli on May 30 to present a check to the organization’s Executive Director, Johanna Sofield. 

The LBCA seeks to assist families in financial crisis in the Long Beach community. The group primarily works directly with the school district’s social workers, community leaders and first responders to provide support to working families experiencing a sudden financial hardship due to an illness, sudden death, or loss of employment. LBCA also continues to assist families still recovering from Superstorm Sandy.
