About:
Inspired by the heartbreaking scenes of destruction they were seeing on the news from the California wildfires, students at Manhasset’s Munsey Park Elementary School, in conjunction with the Manhasset SCA, held a spare change drive and collected $1,964 for the Los Angeles United School District (LAUSD) Education Foundation Emergency Relief Fund.
After designing posters, which were placed around the school and a container for the main office, the Munsey Park Student Council went to work promoting the drive with daily announcements and notes sent home to parents.
The students rolled all the coins, which were delivered to the bank to be counted before being donated to the LAUSD Education Foundation Emergency Relief Fund. This initiative aims to deliver critical support to impacted families and employees throughout the impacted school districts.
The district is proud of the Munsey Park school community for stepping up and letting your kindness shine as you help other students in need. The students’ empathy and generosity knows no boundaries and is an inspiration.
