As everyone in the Midwest can attest, the temperatures are FRIGID!!! These kinds of temps make it difficult to do almost anything outdoors including going to school.
Many of the students of the Chicago Public Schools are in need of winter coats. Last Friday, Dec. 3rd, we delivered 40 brand new winter coats to Curtis Elementary School. To say that everyone at the school was thrilled is truly an understatement. School can be tough enough for the best of students. Imagine what it would be like to stand outside, without a winter coat, while waiting for a bus. Even worse, ponder a child walking to school without a warm coat. A pretty tough proposition.
Because of the generosity of Ms. Otahal's classes, the Humanitarian Army and Amnesty International, Schools Count will be able to donate another 40 winter coats to King Elementary School in Chicago. We will make our delivery on Thursday, Dec. 9th. To join our efforts to help keep kids warm contact me at rich219@comcast.net and we can make arrangements for me to pick up childrens coats.
To those who have aided our 'Coats to Curtis' and 'Coats to King' efforts please accept my heartfelt thanks.
Dick
