East Meadow HS Students Host Fundraisers For Harvey Victims

EAST MEADOW, NY - From East Meadow Union Free School District: In a collective effort, the East Meadow High School community collected monetary donations and school supplies to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Over the course of a month, students, staff and administrators purchased $1 “Hurricane Relief” wristbands or made monetary donations to the school’s American Red Cross Hurricane Relief fundraiser. A total of $1,250 was raised to help provide medical assistance to those affected by the hurricane.

Additionally, students in Lisa Guerriero’s Advanced Fitness class hosted a school supplies collection drive for Burnett Elementary School in Houston, Texas. Through the generous efforts of students and faculty, five boxes of binders, folders, notebooks, backpacks, pens, pencils, crayons and markers were collected.
