MIDDLETOWN—County Executive Steven Neuhaus arrived at Twin Towers Middle School in Middletown on April 11 to do the #22 Pushups Challenge.
Kyle Roddey, the U.S. History teacher at the school and also the Mayor of Goshen, invited Neuhaus who got down and did 22 pushups to honor vets.
Eighth graders donated about 400 food items that Christian Farrell, director of the county Veterans Service Agency, collected for the Orange County Veterans food pantry. The pantry delivers food every week to veterans at their homes.
The students had listened to Neuhaus in January talk about the difficulties veterans face when they return from active duty, such as homelessness and lack of sufficient food. The students responded.
