School Supplies Backpacks for Haiti:

The end of the school year is almost here and most of you have backpacks you will not plan on using next school year. Luisa Hays, freshman at Palmetto, has joined efforts with Honorable Judge Fred Seraphin to provide backpacks filled with donated school supplies to an orphanage in Haiti. She is hoping to collect at least 30 gently used backpacks, fill them with age appropriate school supplies, and ship them to Haiti by early August.  

Please donate backpacks and any extra school supplies to the following locations where you will find donation boxes;

Mrs Meyers Room #400

Palmetto School Library

Or Carmen Hays

Palmetto Bay, FL 33158

Please call (305) 987-0275 or email carmenhays@hotmail.com Carmen Hays with any questions.
