Students Raise Money for Victims of Hurricane Harvey

Northwest Catholic students came together to raise $1069.95 for Catholic Charities of Houston to benefit victims of Hurricane Harvey.

Clara Barnes ’18 and Elizabeth Vandal ’19 of Northwest Catholic High School in West Hartford teamed up with Academic Dean Christopher Stuck to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Harvey that displaced approximately 32,000 people. Vandal and Barnes organized a number of their peers to visit homerooms daily seeking monetary donations of any amount. In just one week the students collected $1069.95, which was sent directly to Catholic Charities of Houston.
