Students and staff members from several schools in the District jumped into action to support families in Texas and Florida who were impacted by the recent hurricanes. They came up with a variety of approaches to collect money and much-needed supplies to aid those in desperate need of help. Some of those efforts included:- Madison Elementary School collected 663 food and toiletry items.
- Middle School South raised $112.50 for the Red Cross from the school’s “PJ and Hat Day” promotion.
- Sedalia Elementary School collected $900 for the Hurricane Harley Relief Fund.
- Middle School Central collected $100 for the Red Cross through donations made to participate in the school’s “PJ and Hat Day.”
- Asbury Elementary School collected $950 in their “Hugs for Harley” fundraising effort. They purchased school supplies to send to a school in Houston, Texas.
More efforts are underway to assist families who have been devastated by the hurricane that hit Puerto Rico. If you would like to make a donation to help those impacted by these recent weather events, please contact your school’s principal or school counselor.
