Our National Junior Honor Society students recently held a fundraiser for a local organization here in NYC-- WIN aka Women In Need.
For more than 35 years, Win has provided safe housing, critical services, and ground-breaking programs to help homeless women and their children rebuild their lives. In the past year, Win served close to 10,000 homeless people — including more than 5,000 children — and helped more than 700 families transition out of shelter into homes of their own.
OLP students "dressed down" for 2 days (each costing $2) and all money raised went to clear the WIN Amazon wishlist! Our students were thrilled to have raised so much and had a great time touring the WIN offices when they toured along with our 8th grade teacher, Dr. Katz.
We are so proud of our students!
