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.
