Katrina:  A Call to Action

The devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina and the vast human suffering left in its wake challenges each of us to respond, as individuals and as members of school communities.

Individual conscience, religious conviction, civic responsibility and human empathy require that we act with compassion, generosity and dispatch.

CAPSO invites schools that have initiated (or plan to initiate) assistance programs and activities to provide the details of such efforts in an email addressed to: info@capso.org
