Maple Avenue Elementary School

Niagara Falls, NY

Help Us Big Lots!!

Last year Maple Avenue celebrated its 85th Anniversary and despite many upgrades, struggles to maintain a modern learning environment that is commensurate with the needs of faculty and students in 2009. Minor repair needs plague the building, so the students made this list of what they think they need.

Producers are looking for local families who make a difference in the community and the lives of others, families whose homes are in desperate need of renovation or rebuilding.

All you have to do is email a short description of the family to: CASTNEWYORK@gmail.com

The deadline is February 20th. Nominations must include a contact phone number.
