Hurricane Harvey, one of the largest natural disasters in Texas history, made landfall Friday night leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The communities of Houston, Rockport, Corpus Christi, and many others have all been affected by the storm, which forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes.

To assist these communities in need, Greenhill School has chosen to cancel this Friday’s All Community Picnic and donate the funds allocated for this event to the Red Cross.

Our Greenhill football team is still scheduled to play the St. Mark’s Lions at 7:00 p.m. and we encourage you to come out and support our Hornets! The concession stand will open at 6:00 p.m. Parking will be available on campus and overflow parking at the Greenhill Office Park Tower.

For other ways to help those in need, please go to https://www.greenhill.org/page/hurricane-harvey-disaster-relief

As more inclement weather is forecasted for the Houston area, schools affected by the storm will be closed through September 4. We will continue to stay in communication with school leadership in Houston and keep you updated on rebuilding efforts and how the Greenhill community can help.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support of our Texas communities, and we look forward to seeing many of you on Friday.
