P ’79 offers hurricane support
Art Teacher Mr. Roy Chambers proposed creating a visual representation of the destruction. When describing the damage to Kingwood High he said, “The school campus looked like a swimming pool or a lake.”
The students and staff members each brought in an object that they had a personal connection with in order to show how the hurricane victims had lost irreplaceable objects that meant a lot to them.
As History Teacher and Project ’79 Coordinator Ms. Jacqueline Spring said, “These are memories, these are attached to their lives.”
Senior JT Binkowitz, who is a Project ’79 participant and co-vice president of the Community Service Club, donated a soccer ball. “I have had it for at least six years now and it is easily my favorite soccer ball on the planet,” he said. “It means a lot.”
Project ’79 and the Community Service Club hope to collaborate in assisting Kingwood High. The groups are trying to determine just what the school’s needs are. The people in Texas have lost so much, and that’s still being tallied up.
“Sometimes, things are more than just things,” McKeon said.
