Elementary schools aid in Puerto Rico relief efforts

The recent hurricane in Puerto Rico left millions of American citizens without food, clean water and electricity. To aid in what will be a long process of recovery and to help with relief efforts, Southgate, Blue Creek, and Forts Ferry elementary schools collected donations from students and teachers throughout their buildings. Southgate’s English as a New Language (ENL) teacher, Jenn Samaniuk, coordinated the overall efforts, with the support of ENL teachers Bob Samaniuk, Lisa Hunter, Lisa Coons, Sara Galica and Jessica Verge. Centro Civico, a Hispanic Outreach Organization in Albany, will arrange for all collections to reach Puerto Rico. Thank you to all who donated for their generosity!
