A little bit goes a long way: A fifth-grade teacher at Westmere Elementary hands over a $120 check to Sue Hennessy, director of the Guilderland Food Pantry, on Wednesday morning which will be used to help buy gifts for kids. Hennessy told the students, “This will feed 120 families this Christmas, the most we ever had.”
