In this article sixth grade English/language arts and science teacher at Oldfield Middle School (Greenlawn, New York) Monica Zenyuh describes how she established a program called "Adopt-a-School" in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Schools that wished to provide assistance would be matched with a grade, school, or district in devastated areas. Teachers and administrators in the devastated schools shared what they needed: supplies, recess equipment, gift cards, etc. Once matched, the schools would develop ways to raise funds and gather the necessary supplies. The students in the "adopted" schools provided information about their school's colors, mascot, motto, etc., to provide a personal connection, as the second part of the program was to send cards and letters to accompany donations. These cards were a way to send words of encouragement and support from fellow students. On November 12, 2012, Zenyuh and her students returned to school, having missed two weeks because of the devastation caused by what was by then named "Superstorm Sandy." Upon their return she described the Adopt-a-School program to her students and they responded enthusiastically, asking if they could help and "adopt" someone; thus began the class involvement in the program. The remainder of the article describes the discussions Zenyuh had with her students surrounding the devastation wrought by "Superstorm Sandy" and the impact participating in the Adopt-a-School program had on them.
