Miss Burger and Mr. Oldham’s Sixth graders
from Genesee Valley Central School collected over $680 for Hurricane Sandy
Relief. Members of the Student Council Emily Daciw, Madison Herdman, Hunter
Jones, and Ethan Weston went classroom to classroom on November 2nd-just
days after Hurricane Sandy- to do their part to help New York City and New
Jersey.
“I had family in New Jersey that had their
house wiped out by the storm,” said Emily, “I wanted to help all I could.”
The students took turns in pairs walking
around the school and collecting donations from teachers, students and staff to
raise $684.58.The donation will go directly to the relief efforts that could be
used to help purchase food and items needed in shelters and cleaning up the areas affected by Hurricane
Sandy.
