Jane Long Academy & Las Americas Newcomer School
November 7, 2020 | 9AM – 4PM
These two schools share the same campus in the Gulfton community and served as a supply distribution center for more than 400 families after Hurricane Harvey. The campus serves a large refugee student population and is the first point of entry into academia for many.
We will be refurbishing the Jane Long Academy’s outdoor space including building an outdoor classroom, seating, and communal lounge space. At Los Americas Newcomer School, volunteers will add pops of color throughout the campus including a school mascot mural, and upgrade outdoor learning areas including creating a trauma-sensitive garden, landscaping, and peer meditation spaces.
