Summer 2012
POA Uniform Resale Goes Global e POA’s uniform resale held last spring was a successful event on two distinct levels. Over the course of several days, purchases of gently used school uniforms brought in $6400 for the POA and items not sold were donated to an orphanage in migori, Kenya and an orphanage in Haiti. Over the past two years the Academy has donated through the Kenya relief organization hundreds of uniforms, as well as soccer equipment, to an orphanage in migori, Kenya. e organization collects items for orphans and hospital patients as well as many other programs that were established to improve the quality of life in this African community. is year, clothing was also collected for a Haitian orphanage to help children affected by the devastating earthquake of January 2010. enough uniforms were collected to provide each child two whole outfits. Serving others has always been an instrumental part of e montgomery Academy. With events like Community Day and other programs designed to give back set in place by HeArT and the Interpersonal relations class, these acts of contributing is just another way to cultivate students into ethical leaders inside the classroom and beyond.
Hope you and your family are having a great summer! We look forward to seeing you back at the Academy in August. Please watch your mailboxes for important Back to School information coming this week.
