About:
In an effort to raise money for those affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, the physical education teachers at Meadow Drive School in the Mineola Union Free School District organized a Hoops for Hurricane Relief fundraiser.
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.
At Meadow Drive, we teach our students to be members of a global society. We raised money for the victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas.
On Wednesday, September 20th the students at Meadow participated in the Hoops for Hurricane Relief fundraiser where the goal is for every basket scored, a monetary donation was made. These cash donations were used to support Foerster Elementary School in Houston, Texas. This school had some damage, but was able to open. They then accepted 150 students and 6 staff members from schools that were destroyed. This money helped support their already struggling school.
