Hurricane Relief, Coin Challenge, and Pies at East York Elementary

Submitted by Donna Biser

The Dragon Friends Club of East York Elementary held a coin drive to raise money for victims of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. Building principal, Dr. Fuhrman, challenged the students to raise $300, and if they achieved the goal she would take a pie to her face.  The students of East York exceeded their goal and together they raised a total of $654.55.  On September 30, the total amount was revealed at an assembly where Dr. Fuhrman and three other staff members Amy Valdez, Jess Barley, and Karen Potts all took a pie to the face!  The money that was raised will be sent to three separate organizations to help the people of Houston, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
