Red Rivals Rallying 4 Relief

In this trying time for our neighbors in West, the Lorena ISD community would like to come together to offer our assistance.  Here is the district plan for aiding the community and schools of West:

Each campus will be a collection site for the following:

• School supplies - for all grade levels (new)
• Backpacks (new)
• Money
• Water, Gatorade
• Non-perishable food items
• Toiletries (like shampoo, soap, deodorant, etc...)

On Monday, we are encouraging everyone on all campuses - employees and students - to wear RED.  We are calling our efforts RED RIVALS RALLYING FOR RELIEF.  We will collect money now through next Wednesday, but MONDAY will be designated as a specific day to wear red and donate cash.  Our hope is to use the cash to provide for specific needs at the school.

Lorena High School will host a Blood Drive Friday, April 26th from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm at the LHS gym. Community members are invited to come donate as well.  Call the HS Office (857-4604) for more details.

We want to organize our efforts so that we do not contribute to any chaos.  All groups, organizations, campuses, etc...will collect, but we will bring all of the items and money together for one donation/delivery from Lorena ISD Community, Students, and Staff.

Thank you again for your outpouring of concern!!!

Dr. Sandra Talbert, Superintendent
