Wescott and Willowbrook Schools Collect Donations for Ukraine

Wescott and Willowbrook Schools Collect Donations for Ukraine

Students made cards with hearts the colors of the Ukrainian flag for the refugees.

District 30's "Wolves" and "Wildcats" have shown big giving power this week! The kids were sorting all of the donations for Ukraine refugees on March 18 at Wescott and Willowbrook Schools. Principals Dr. Chris Brown and Dr. Scott Carlson and Wescott first-grade teacher Sharon Latek, with Buildings and Grounds Coordinator Jason Borst and Maintenance Mechanic Federico Lopez, then took the boxes and transported them to the Northbrook Park District before they are shipped to liaison Jeff Kaminsky in Berlin.

He is our contact with Citizen's Emergency Response Team (through teacher Sharon Latek), who is trying to help as many refugees as possible in Europe. He says that he is grateful for our collections, and shared a link for financial donations, which will provide more immediate relief.

Thank you to our generous community for your support, kindness, citizenship, and caring.
