Help for Haiti
Students from Kindergarten to 6th grade were asked earlier this week to donate money to help out an orphanage in Haiti that was affected by the earthquake. The response was overwhelming. Over $2,000 US Dollars were raised by these students who can't be more than 275 in number. As I walked around the classroom collecting the money from my students, one student stopped me to tell me the origin of his donation. It was all the money he had received from losing his front tooth. I was amazed at this 7 year old's generosity.
