Birthday Club Visits MD Fox Elementary School


On May 26th, 9 Birthday Club members made a visit to MD Fox Elementary School. They met with Mr Lorenzo, the principal and Mrs Bedula, the school social worker. Discussed were the many challenges faced by the school and their students who are primarily refugees from 28, yes 28, different countries. Over 90% of the Fox students live at below the poverty line. The students were given a wish list of items needed by the students. The list included items such as uniforms and school supplies to the most basic household necessities.
The children felt very good about the visit and some started collecting books for the Fox kids summer reading ,a luxury item for most of them.
