It was a Winter Wonderland at the Premm-B.O.C.E.S. Learning Center in Oakdale as Santa delivered toys to 227 special needs students courtesy of the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association. St. Nick arrived in a special Emergency Services "sleigh" loaded with gifts and the officers spent the day helping make the holidays bright. “It was a fantastic day for everyone involved,” said PBA President Lou Civello, who was joined by 1st Vice President John Hnat and many officers and staff at the annual give-away.
