Donate to LoMA!

Most of the students at our school are eligible for free or reduced lunch from the city of New York. That means that most of our students are at or below the poverty line. Because of this, LoMA does not collect money for student activities fees.


I'm the teacher helping run our Student Council and the students are so eager to hold events and dances! You can imagine,however, making our limited funds stretch to cover fun events is quite difficult.

How can this be solved? YOU could help us make LoMA more fun. Statistics prove that the more time a student spends in school the better chance they have of achieving in the long run. Help a student achieve -- help a student have fun at school.

Thank you!
