Did you know Hurricane Deck Elementary school has the highest rate of homelessness in the Camdenton School District?
"We will run anywhere from 16 to 25%. So a full quarter of our population will qualify under what's called the McKinney Bento Act," HDE Principal Christie Moulder shared.
Moulder also shared a fact many people probably don't know: the school has no budget for things like field trips. Those are paid for by the Parent-Teacher Organization, commonly known as the PTO.
The Hurricane Deck Elementary PTO pays for everything from field trips to field days to playground equipment and fun community events, to help bolster kids' education. And a new golf tournament coming up this weekend will help fund the PTO's continued efforts.
The Birdies & Books Golf Tournament is set for Sunday, Aug. 10, at Indian Rock Golf Course. It's a 4-person scramble, with a shotgun start at 9am. $320 for a four-person team, and the money raised will help HDE kids have things like field trips and field days.
