Rivals Help In Recovery Efforts
Students who live on Bolivar and Sabine Pass got some help from a community more than a hundred miles away.
Students from Colmesneil and Chester traveled more than a hundred miles bringing school supplies to the hurricane devastated community.
The group arrived in Sabine Pass to unload paper, backpacks, pens, pencils and all kinds of supplies for teachers.
After the group finished unloading the buses in Sabine Pass they headed to High Island with more supplies.
"In Colmesneil we had a little debris down and houses messed up. Driving here with the school this building behind me, it's devastating. These kids need school, need an education but the money isn't there. People are trying to pay bills so we're just trying to help the best way we know how," said Michael Sanders, the Colmesneil Student Council Advisor.
Sanders says the community also raised $2,000 and donated it to the schools of Sabine Pass and High Island.
