VBAS AIDES IN ALABAMA TORNADO DISASTER RELIEF EFFORTS

By Roger Haburey

As most are already aware, over 200 people lost their lives and another 2000 or so were injured on April 27^th 2011.  A string of deadly twisters tore through the north central part of the state.  Entire communities and infrastructures were destroyed.

As part of the response on our part, at least two staff members have taken on a mission to provide essential supplies and basic materials for children and adults that were left homeless because of the storms.  A list was provided with information recently sent home with students and adult individuals.  If you would like more information on how you can assist with this effort, please feel free to give us a shout here at the school.

Below is a list of needed items you can send to the school by May 25^th:

All baby including formula, diapers, baby wipes, and bottles (etc.)

Work gloves

Trash bags

All nonperishable items including food items, please be sure they have pop top opening

Can openers

Bug spray

All paper products

NOTE:  Any work or yard tools donated need to be brought to the Dale County bus barn located on AL HWY 27 in order to avoid prohibitive transportation on a bus or being held on school grounds.
