HURRICANE RELIEF EFFORT

The Leon County School District is coordinating efforts to help provide
assistance to families that have been displaced because of Hurricane
Katrina.  There are many ways that you as a member of our school family can
get involved.  We are listing below several different ways and solicit your
input on any others.  Please feel free to contact your school’s principal
for further information or call 487-7139, Merry Ortega, or 487-7525, Linda
Corbett.  We encourage everyone to participate in any way you feel
appropriate.

SECURE HOUSING:  The School District is attempting to secure housing at no
cost for displaced families.  If you have rental property such as homes or
apartments or rooms in your home that you are willing to open the doors
rent free, please complete the form below and return it to your child’s
school.

FINANCIAL:  Each school is currently involved in fundraising with a school
goal of $2 per student.  This activity has already begun and will run
through Friday, September 23rd.   All financial contributions will be
greatly appreciated. In addition, each school will be soliciting your
financial support in this effort at such activities as school Open House,
middle school football jamborees, high school sporting events, and the like.

DONATED GOODS:  If you have donated goods such as clothing, housing goods
such as blankets, nonperishable foods, water, or school supplies, please
deliver them to your child’s school. These will be collected weekly at a
central warehouse.  This activity will also run through September 23rd. All
donated goods will be provided either to families in our community who
arrived as a result of the hurricane or to Red Cross to be sent to areas of
need.
