About:
In just a few days’ time, Lindell School’s fifth-graders met their goal in a Hurricane Harvey relief fundraiser. Their full inventory of awareness bracelets sold out between Sept. 26 and Oct. 2, resulting in a $1,000 donation to an elementary school in the Houston Independent School District.
The red, white and blue bracelets, embossed with the text, “We are survivors! Sandy/Harvey,” were sold for $1 each. This is just one of the many initiatives that the Long Beach Public Schools have coordinated to help those in other parts of the nation as they recover from recent storms.
