South Side High School graduating seniors help raise money for Covert students

South Side High School seniors with the class of 2023 recently returned to William S. Covert Elementary School last week, to present Principal Darren Raymar with an $800 check for The Raymar Children’s Fund.

The fund, which was created by Raymar, helps provide Covert students with extra activities during the school year. It also provides money, gifts and grants to organizations and families in need.

Keira Coico, a South Side student, and Matthew Spinelli, who attends Regis High School in Manhattan, helped organize this fundraiser with the help of former Covert students, who will be graduating from the high school on June 23.

In the past few years, the Raymar Children’s Fund has helped raise more than $75,000 for enrichment experiences and programs at Covert Elementary. In addition to helping many families in the community, the fund also contributes to local and national organizations including March of Dimes, Make-A-Wish, the Backyard Players, the RVC Breast Cancer Coalition and more.
