On May 7th, hundreds of CCS supporters helped the network set a new record! Thanks to the generosity of 395 donors, more than $29,000 was donated to Crescent City Schools on GiveNOLA Day, a regional day of online giving organized by the Greater New Orleans Foundation. These funds donated on GiveNOLA Day go directly to the five campuses in the CCS network: Harriet Tubman Charter School, Tubman Montessori, Dorothy Height Charter School, Mildred Osborne Charter School, and the Aurora Program.
The schools will use the funds raised on GiveNOLA Day for various purposes, such as purchasing art supplies for pottery and mural-making, new playground equipment, and expanding afterschool enrichment programs.
