Gretna Middle School

E-mail from Jeff Nowakwoski, community relations rep for county school system:

Thank you very much for thinking of us. Donations like yours helped tremendously in getting our schools open again. Currently, we do not have a need for used computers. Following the hurricane, several vendors and large retail companies provided new computers to replace those lost during the storm and we were able to rebuild and build new computer labs. If you have used computers to donate, I would suggest contacting two schools districts south of us that were wiped away. They are still struggling to get back on their feet. But I know they could use your donations. Contact our state Bd. of Ed. in Baton Rouge and they can get you the names and phone numbers at St. Bernard and Plaquemines school districts. I took our hurricane information off our website because I wanted to show that we had come back and we're putting it behind us. More of a psycological move to get the students to return to normalcy. We still have so much devastation around us everyday.

Thanks again for thinking of us,
Jeff
