Students may donate $1 to support support “Spina Bifida of Houston/Gulf Coast.” Spina Bifida is the most common permanently disabling birth defect in the United States. Spina Bifida literally means “split spine.” It happens when a baby is in the womb and the spinal column does not close all of the way. Students who donate may come to school dressed in a Red or Green shirt or Viking Spirit wear shirt and blue or black jeans. Please have your child give their donation to their homeroom teacher.
