Dear Surfside Family,
In times of crisis, one thing that always remains consistent for children is school. Though our school and community suffered minimal damage, others were not so lucky.
We have reached out to three schools on the west coast (Fort Myers Elementary School, Fort Myers High School and Lehigh Senior High School) who have not only been impacted beyond imagine by the destruction of Hurricane Ian but also are the alma mater for some of our teachers and staff here at Surfside.
We will be holding a donation drive through October 31st, with a community wide drop off day on Saturday, October 22 from 8-11 at Surfside, as a way of doing our part to support our fellow Floridians in their times of need. Students are able to bring donations to school during this window, where there will be a designated area for them to drop their items off at. These students and teachers lost everything, from books and school supplies, to their homes and valuables. We are hoping to collect items such as new clothing (all seasons and all ages, both children and adult), hygiene products, toys, books, classroom supplies, non-perishable food, and water.
We hope that you will consider donating and using this opportunity to show your student what it means to come together and support those in their time of need.
Thank you so much for your consideration and ongoing support.
