Hepburn-Lycoming Primary Raises $3,175 for Hurricane Relief

Call it a lesson in citizenship.

A three-day fundraising campaign last month to support an East Texas elementary school affected by Hurricane Harvey exceeded expectations by nearly $1,200 — a success celebrated on Friday afternoon.

Students at Hepburn-Lycoming Primary School were challenged by Principal Michele Kunkle to raise $2,000 for Rosa Parks Elementary School in Fresno, Texas. Not only did the school community meet the goal but surpassed it by 158 percent, raising $3,175.

Sporting their Millionaire pride, students gathered in the school’s gymnasium to celebrate their achievement. As promised, Kunkle allowed students to tape her to the wall and throw pies and water balloons at her.

The funds raised will go to the families of the students at Rosa Parks Elementary School to help purchase school supplies, clothes and food.
