The two victims, a 12-year-old boy and an adult woman, were walking near the school on Oct. 15 when they were struck.
Both were seriously hurt and are now recovering after multiple surgeries, PPS posted on social media Thursday.
The school district shared a fundraising campaign and asked for public support as the victims heal. Funds raised by the campaign will go toward medical expenses, rehabilitation costs and other essential needs.
“We ask that you continue to keep our fellow Bulldogs and their families in your thoughts and prayers,” the district said. “Your compassion, kindness and generosity remind us what it means to stand together as one community.”
The campaign shared photos of the student who was injured, but did not name him or the staff member.
