Randall Carter Elementary School recently collected coins on behalf of the "Unidos Movement for Puerto Rico" from the Hispanic Federation to help Puerto Rico recover from Hurricane Maria.

This charity action came about from a fifth grade student, Nicholas Rubino, discussing his concern for the island and our fellow Americans who are struggling to recover. He brought the idea of having our school help in the recovery to our school counselor, Mrs. Russo, and together they came up with this simple, but impactful way to do something to help. He announced this program before dismissal to the school's entire student body. Change collection boxes were in the main office, cafeteria, and the teachers' lounge from October 10 - October 13th. In only one week, Randall Carter raised $645.00 for the Hispanic Federation’s charity relief efforts! Randall Carter would like to salute their students and staff for continuing to bring these ideas to our community. Given all that is going on in the world, it is encouraging to think that our future generation is already taking the positive steps needed to make our world a better place.

Pictured students (Ella Dikum, Jordan Minardi, Nicholas Rubino, Anya Shah, and Sarah Vastano) all made a significant contribution to the schools collections efforts.
