Hurricane Sandy made American landfall 1,500 miles away. The Katrina destruction peaked when Legacy’s current oldest seniors were, at the most, six years old. But the newest country-shaking monsoon, Hurricane Harvey, provides high school students in our state with a unique opportunity and responsibility to help our neighbors and fellow Texans weather the storm.
Students, teachers, administrators, and nurses are collecting supplies and money for those impacted by Harvey. Here are a few ways you can help:
Ms. Watkins and Ms. Rombach, Legacy’s nurses, are collecting supplies for people fleeing to Dallas after the storm and subsequent flooding displaced them from their homes. All supplies are donated to the Health Services of MISD, and then subsequently utilized by another donation center.
What you can bring:
New underwear
New socks
New warm-ups for men, women, children, and infants
Toiletries/Hygiene products
Baby formula
Baby wipes
Diapers
Graco Pack n’ Plays for babies to sleep in.
Items can be brought to the Legacy Clinic.
MISD requests that students and parents bring supplies to their school, which will be passed on to the Salvation Army. The donations will be taken down to the Gulf Coast area to assist in relief efforts. Supplies can be brought and placed on the pallets in the front of the cafeteria.
What you can bring:
Cases of bottled water
Cases of Gatorade
Granola bars
New Toothbrushes
New Toothpaste
