Benches for Homer Plessy School
Donation protected
Homer Plessy Community School needs an outdoor classroom. Patio Planters of the Vieux Carré , a local nonprofit community organization, was awarded a $500 grant from the New Orleans Tricentennial Commission earlier this year to help beautify the French Quarter's only remaining school.
In partnering with Plessy, we decided the best use of the grant was to help fund and construct an outdoor classroom in the front of the building. Our intent is to purchase four benches, each 6 feet wide, as a solid start to this classroom. These benches will be anchored into the ground in the front of the building, along St. Philip Street. As such, they need to be solid, safe, and attractive. At approx. $500 each, we need a total of $2000 to fully fund this project. $500 has already been provided by Patio Planters.
We need your help in meeting this funding goal. Between Patio Planters members, Plessy School parents, and caring neighbors, we are confident we can have this classroom in place by late September. Please consider giving whatever you can for this cause.
