SCHOOL MISSION PROJECTS

Over the last few weeks our school has been raising money for Haiti’s earthquake victims. Altogether with our various projects (Hats for Haiti, Taco Day Lunch, Bake Sale, private donations, a matching grant from Faith Life and a matching grant from the Federal Government) our school has raised $3000 to send to Haiti.

The students should have brought home a pink letter explaining the “My Hands are Helping” project. Each student is encouraged to help someone else, either at home or at school, without being asked and with no expectation of being rewarded or paid back for their kind deed. Please fill in the small form explaining what the student did and then sending it back to school. They will be posted on the bulletin board in the front hall.
