Holy Cross is looking for any type of assistance with regards to textbooks for grades 5-12. We lost all of our textbooks.

UPDATE FROM HEADMASTER 10/12/05

BROADMOOR IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN WORK THIS FRIDAY. THE ROOFERS WILL ALSO BEGIN THEIR REPAIRS THIS WEEK. TO THE MANY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE SIGNED UP TO HELP WITH THE CLEANUP, AS SOON AS THE CITY LIFTS THE RESTRICTED ACCESS TO THE LOWER NINTH WARD WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET YOU ON CAMPUS.

AT THE PRESENT TIME, I AM ALSO RESTRICTED TO GOING TO CAMPUS; I MUST BE IN THE COMPANY OF ONE OF THE CONTRACTORS. I AM ENCOURAGED THAT THE PROCESS OF RESTORATION IS FINALLY BEGINNING. HURRICANE RITA SET US BACK ABOUT THREE WEEKS. SHE DIDN’T FLOOD THE CAMPUS, BUT SHE PREVENTED ACCESS TO IT BY FLOODING THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.

TO MY STUDENTS,

KEEP WORKING HARD, STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR STUDIES AND KEEP THE TIGER SPIRIT ALIVE IN YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES NO MATTER WHERE IN THIS COUNTRY YOU MAY BE. GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU,
CHARLIE DIGANGE, ‘64

I'm pretty sure we're going to be able to get them books. I'll ask Christy what the status is...

[Terra]

I checked with Christy and she says that Norwood is donating the books he needs, so we'll be shipping them in the next few days if all works out. Norwood's got to get them to the warehouse, though. So we'll see if they can do that or not.

Anyone else that wants help coodinating textbook needs for the gulf regions, call Christy at 978 287 6008. She has her finger on the pulse and is helping schools donate to the right places...the schools that need them the most.
