Dear Friends, Family, and Kindhearted Strangers,

We are reaching out for your help. A School District of Philadelphia family who has children at Academy at Palumbo and George W. Nebinger School recently experienced a tragic house fire that has left them not only without a roof over their heads, but also without most of their cherished belongings.

The family needs our support so they can rebuild their lives and get back on their feet. This GoFundMe campaign has been created by the Academy at Palumbo Home & School Association to raise funds that will go towards:

• replacing clothing for this family of three
• providing basic necessities, personal items, school supplies
• funding to help them relocate and make a new place home again

Even a small donation can make a big difference. Please consider contributing and sharing this campaign with your network. Your kindness will remind them that they are not alone.

Thank you for your generosity.

With gratitude,

The Academy at Palumbo HSA

Donations will be given to the family in need.

• To the Health & Phys. Ed. Department for displaying extreme patience and grace as we deal with repairs to the gyms due to the water damage from the sprinkler system.
• To the Griffins Football team and Coach Reca, Coach Kay, Coach McKnight, and all the boys for taking first place in the American Division with their 20-6 win over Edison! This is truly a monumental accomplishment as it is the first time in program history Palumbo has won the division in football. Best of luck in the Playoffs!
  
• Good luck to Nasya Fountain and John Hiester as they compete with Philadelphia City Rowing at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston this weekend! This is the largest Regatta in the world and offers students students the opportunity to compete in some of the best crews in the country, meet college coaches and tour the Boston area.
