Lanier Poets Work to Send
1,000 Bags of Love to Texas
Through September 11th, the Lanier JROTC
and the Lanier Parents Center will be collecting
personal hygiene items such as tooth brushes,
tooth paste, face cloths, soap, hair combs, hair
brushes, diapers, etc. for the families displaced
by Hurricane Harvey. This effort will be
coordinated by the Lanier Parents Center
The school has set a goal of at least 1,000 gallon
freezer bags filled with personal toiletry items
for the some of the 6,000 displaced families
in Texas. There are just over 1,000 students
enrolled in the school. The idea is for each
student in Lanier to reach at least one person
in need.
The Lanier student body, faculty, parents,
alumni classes, churches and community
members are asked to bring donations of the
toiletry items to the school. All monetary
donations should be made directly to the
American Red Cross or the Salvation Army.
