Information from Jon Thompson, Superintendent of the Aplington-Parkersburg School District:

 An account has been established at the Lincoln Savings Bank in Aplington.  Money directly specified for athletics and/or the students will go directly to their student programs.  General donations at that bank will go to the Red Cross.  If schools donate, make sure to attach a letter indicating your wishes that the money goes to the A-P Tornado Fund. 

He states that they do not expect donations; thoughts and prayers are enough.
