Teaneck Schools Organize to Help Oklahoma Tornado Victims

Teaneck’s parent-teacher organization is collaborating with the school district to collect funds for the victims of the devastating storm in Oklahoma last week.

Donation cans will be placed around town schools to gather money for the American Red Cross, according to a district announcement.

The full message, from the PTO, is below: 

As we enjoy our children’s many events in the coming months, please take a moment to help those who are not as fortunate. The devastating tornado in Moore, Oklahoma has crushed the dreams of a joyful end of school year for many families there. The PTO is working with the school to show support for the children and families affected by the storm by collecting donations to assist with the recovery efforts.

Please help by donating anything that you can. All proceeds will go to the American Red Cross and will be specified for the Oklahoma Disaster. Donation cans will be located at all school events and in school offices. 

You can also send in your donations care of your School's PTO Mail Box. Please specify on the envelope that your money or check is for the Oklahoma Disaster. Please contact your PTO president for further information.
