Mineola Students Raise Money For Hurricane Victims

In an effort to raise money for those affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, the physical education teachers at Meadow Drive School in Mineola organized a Hoops for Hurricane Relief fundraiser this week.

Over the course of the week, students practiced their basketball skills in gym classes, and on Sept. 20, participated in four mini-games to raise money.

The event culminated with a teachers/staff game and raised more than $1,500 for the cause to date. Once collections have ceased, the funds are intended to directly benefit a school in each area.
