= = Operation Katrina-Lee 2012 Towanda, PA

//**The History** // Operation Katrina was [|Mercy Vocational High School's] response to the call for help after Hurricane Katrina. We made six trips to the Gulf Coast area from 2006 to 2011. We saw first hand the improvements made by the many volunteers. MVHS decided to keep the name Operation Katrina for this service-learning trip. It has a specific meaning to our school community. We also decided that this trip should travel to areas who have experienced devastation due to a natural disaster.

In September 2011, Bradford County suffered much devastation with Tropical Storm Lee when the Susquehanna's banks overflowed flooding homes in Towanda and Athens, PA. This year we are taking our skills to Towanda to help with the rebuilding efforts already underway.
