Inspired by Katie Vitalo Harrigan, a first grade teacher at Warwick's Holliman Elementary School who passed away in 2019, "Katie's Funds for Kids" is an initiative that provides school supplies for teachers and personal items such as clothing, coats, eyeglasses, etc. for children in need.
Warwick Neck Elementary's Faculty, Staff, and Community proudly joins Holliman School - and schools across the city - in a District-Wide Dress Down Day to honor Katie's memory, while raising funds and awareness of "Katie's Funds for Kids."
All are invited to dress down on Friday, December 13, 2024 to support this special initiative. Optional monetary donations are also welcomed.
All funds collected will be forwarded to Holliman School (please place any cash in envelopes or ziploc bags labeled "Katie's Funds for Kids.") Participants may also send funds to Katie's mom via venmo @diane-vitalo with the comment "WPS Dress Down - Katie's Funds for Kids!"
