Chapman High School
June 12, 2008

Chapman Kansas is just off I-70, between Abilene and Junction City. You can see the torn-up trees where the June 11 tornado plowed across the interstate. That tornado destroyed all three schools in the town.

But those Fighting Irish are fighting on! They're resolved to open school on time this year. They'll be using what are euphemistically called "temporary classrooms," better known as trailers.

The science labs are gone, completely. No equipment, no shelving, no apparatus, no consumables. Nothing. They need your help! Unlike Greensburg, the folks in Chapman don't have Leonardo diCaprio pulling for them.

If you can give, even a small amount, please contact Heather Click [hclick (at) ksde (dot) org] to coordinate your efforts so that those science classrooms can be up and running as soon as possible.

Thanks for doing unto others.
