Recently, Sound Shore Medical Center’s (SSMC) Outpatient Pediatric Department was the recipient of the caring of William B. Ward Elementary School students and their parents.

As the Ward School Book Fair committee members considered their semi-annual event, they decided to expand their efforts to include the collection of new and gently used books for donation. This would support literature and the love of reading, while sharing children’s books within the New Rochelle community. Since one of the members knew of Sound Shore Medical Center’s Outpatient Pediatric Department and its long-time commitment to the national Reach Out & Read Project, it was chosen as one of the recipients to receive a donation of books.

 

After collecting more than 500 books, the Book Fair Committee members along with their children delivered 300 to Sound Shore Medical Center. The Director of SSMC’s Outpatient Pediatric Department, Daniel Pomerantz, MD, MPH, FACP and pediatrician and coordinator of SSMC’s Reach Out & Read Project, Margaret Levitt, MD, graciously accepted the books. They thanked the children for their caring and the pleasure their gift would bring to so many.

 

This is a heartwarming example of bringing two lessons together into one – the importance of reading and the joy of giving. The children at Ward School and the young patients at SSMC’s Pediatric Clinic were both winners in this Ward School community project.
