VALDOSTA – Several Georgia counties were impacted by Hurricane Michael. 

In Seminole County, Donalsonville, students have not returned to school. Many families are still without power and basic necessities.

Lowndes High School has decided to “adopt” Seminole County Schools as a sister school to assist, according to school officials. 

The entire school system has 1,470 students; students, teachers and families need help, Lowndes school officials said.

The goal is to raise $3,300, which represents approximately $1 from each student and staff member at LHS.

The school is calling it #Give your 1! 

Seminole County needs classroom supplies for kindergarten classes. At Seminole Elementary School, the entire kindergarten wing of the building was demolished, Lowndes school officials said. 

The roof was ripped off and the building was flooded. The middle and high school sustained damage as well.

Lowndes County school officials said people can help by:

1. Making a financial donation: At the Crimson Cafe, front office, student check-In or guidance office at LHS. The goal is $1 per student and faculty member.

2. The following items are needed and can be turned in at the main office:

• Classroom items: Crayons, highlighters, markers, pencils, notebook paper, glue sticks, construction paper, notebooks, copy paper, notepads, dry-erase markers, book bags, erasers, color pencils, spiral notebooks, etc.

• Clothing items: T-shirts ages 5-10; socks (in the package) ages 5-10; underwear (in the package) ages 5-10; jogging pants ages 5-10.

• Cleaning supplies: Hand sanitizer, hand soap, toilet tissue, alcohol wipes, Ziplock bags (quart and gallon size), Kleenex, Clorox Wipes.

If people are unable to give money or supplies, the school needs assistance in sorting and packing these items.

LHS will take donations through Nov. 2. Donations can be dropped off at LHS.
