For Pearl River County Middle School in Carriere, Mississippi, a 6-8 middle school with a 750
student population, who are now registering hurricane evacuees at a rate of 120+ new students
a day! Expecting up to 600+ additional students by time school starts next week.
Their principal contacted our middle level association requesting help.
Here is what the school needs:
 Paper
 Pencils and pens
 Composition books
 Clear and mesh book bags
 3-hole punched paper
 Binders
 White board markers
 Photocopier toner cartridges-Imagistic model # IM4511- the photocopier works but the
school has no toner (their toner company was wiped out)
 In Focus projectors- they have computers at school, but no internet. In Focus projectors
would allow them to teach large numbers of kids with limited reaching resources. Dr.
White says these are his highest priority need as classes are starting with 40-45
students and with very limited teaching supplies, these make all the difference! (or send
$$ to purchase projectors we can send to them)
 Uniforms- sizes small to very large-new or gently used.
 Khaki or navy slacks
 Navy or white polo shirts (no emblem or logo)
 Cash Donations-to cover shipping costs gladly accepted!
 Checks should be made out to OMLA~Pearl River fund and sent
to:
COSA/OMLA
707 13th St. SE
Suite 100
Salem, OR. 97301
