Students from Cicero School District 99 rallied to help fellow students whom were victimized by the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. On Tuesday, students from District 99 kindergarten through 8th grade were allowed to wear jeans during school hours by donating one dollar to benefit the young victims of Hurricane Harvey. “I am proud of our students whom thought about this idea to raise funds for those in dyer situations, our students are learning to be sociably responsible leaders and igniting the future for others to follow,” stated Dr. Jack Rein, MTSS Director for District 99. Houston, Texas School districts are surveying the damage to classrooms, and many teachers will likely need help recuperating lost supplies. Cicero School District 99 is dedicated to support teachers rebuild and restock their classrooms with materials, such as books, furniture, classroom supplies, technology, and resources. “The young people of our schools are giving by nature and are becoming leaders in the schools and the communities they live in; I am touched by their willingness and generosity to help those in greater need than themselves. We support them in their efforts,” said Rudy Hernandez, Superintendent, Cicero School District 99. For more information, visit www.cicd99.edu.
