About:
The student government at W.T. Clarke Middle School in the East Meadow School District held a hurricane relief drive from Sept. 11-20 to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey.
W.T. Clarke Middle School faculty and students were encouraged to deposit nonperishable food items, bedding, clothing, pet supplies and toiletries in donation boxes throughout the building. Over the course of the drive, student government members made morning announcements, posted flyers, decorated donation boxes and spoke to classes about the importance of helping others in times of need.
All donations were delivered to Eisenhower Park, which was deemed a collection site during Nassau County Executive, Edward P. Mangano and police officials’ “Help for Houston” fundraiser.
