Ox Ridge Students Help With Hurricane Relief in Puerto Rico, Texas
|
In the wake of a devastating hurricane season, Ox Ridge students decided they wanted to help their peers who face the daunting task of putting their lives back together. For one Ox Ridge teacher, Elsa Agosto, the impact of Hurricane Maria and the students’ efforts has been more personal. Principal Luke Forshaw noted that Agosto, who teaches Spanish, has family in Puerto Rico. Maria knocked out much of the island’s infrastructure in mid-September. Returning power and getting food and water has been an on-going challenge since the storm, according to news reports. Agosto’s family survived the storm but has intermittent communication.
