Tornado Relief Efforts

Following the devastating tornadoes of March 2nd, New Haven PTA is helping to collect donations for our neighbors in Crittenden and Piner, KY this week.  Please bring your donations to the school as soon as possible.  Drivers will be taking donations to collection points on Wednesday, March 7th and at the end of the week.  If you would like to help drive or have any questions, please contact Jaime Creech at chadandjaime@fuse.net.

Bedding (blankets, sheets, pillows)

Towels

Garbage bags

Cleaning supplies (paper towels, brooms, etc.)
