"While the fire itself was contained to one classroom, that room is not the only one that sustained damage. Unfortunately, a large number of classrooms have suffered complete and total losses," wrote Caitlin Stenson on behalf of the Arthur Rann Family School Association in a GoFundMe.

About 670 students and 109 staff need to be relocated to other buildings in the Galloway Township School District. Read more: NJ School District Needs To Relocate 670 Students After Classroom Fire
