The schools raised and donated more than 3,100 food items for the Roslindale Food Bank.

  In the two weeks leading up the Super Bowl, the Ohrenberger and Beethoven schools ran a Soup-er Bowl - a food drive to benefit the Roslindale Food Bank.

Ohrenberger-Beethoven Students Raise Money for Massachusetts Tornado Victims

Money donated to wear Boston Bruins garb will go to help a school in Monson affected by a tornado.

The students of the Ohrenberger and Beethoven schools held a Bruins Day on Friday letting the students wear Bruins garb, or gold and black, which raised funds for tornado relief. Any student who donated any amount of monetary donation was able to wear the gold and black of the Boston Bruins. Initially the students were going to donate funds to the American Red Cross, but a parent with children at both schools, mentioned the devastation in the small town of Monson, where the parent's family is from.  So the students and staff decided to collect funds for a school in Monson.
