Haitian Earthquake Relief
Many thanks to all those who made donations in support of the Haitian Earthquake relief effort through the school. We were able to raise $680 for Save the Children to assist them with their humanitarian work in Haiti. For those families who would like to make a donation to earthquake victims in Chile, we will be happy to collect checks for Save the Children and send them on to the agency, which is also conducting relief operations focused on meeting the needs of families and children in Chile. Please feel free to drop checks in the office and we will be happy to pass them along for you.
