South Davis Elementary Cleanup
Donation protected
This past weekend, the playground at South Davis Elementary School in Orchard Park was vandalized with graffiti. The vandalism - which was not limited to the school -- included racial slurs, swastikas, and other profane language.
I'm asking for your help with the cleanup which is estimated to cost the school nearly five thousand dollars.
South Davis Elementary shouldn't have to take money out of classrooms because of these thoughtless and hurtful actions. All proceeds from this campaign will be transferred directly to the school. Funds raised beyond the target will be donated to the school or the school's PTO.
As a concerned member of the Buffalo community, I feel that this sort of hate crime cannot be tolerated. One of the goals of all educators is to transform our students into better citizens. Let's show South Davis what good citizenship is all about.
