National Merit Semi-Finalists
Bake Sale for Italy
On the morning of Wednesday , August 24th , a large part of central Italy was struck by a devastating 6.2-magnitude earthquake . Quickly , the Fordham Prep Italian Club organized and sponsored a bake sale on September 19 and 20 , with all proceeds donated to Italian American Relief ( IAR ), an initiative of the National Italian American Foundation . IAR is a coordinated effort to provide immediate response when natural catastrophes and other disasters occur in Italy , such as the earthquake which struck central Italy on August 24 . In addition , the Italian Club accepted monetary donations to help the earthquake victims . Through the generosity of the Prep community , the bake sale raised $ 1400 ! The Italian Club is grateful for the generosity of the student body and your continued prayers for all those affected by this tragedy .
