SharePreparatory School - Help For Haiti
02/04/10
Upon hearing of the earthquake in Haiti, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine Preparatory School students rallied together to provide relief for victims of this tragedy. They wanted to actually do something, not just donate money from their parents.
On January 20th, students had a car wash and brought in EC $3,121.40. Students in pre-kinder and kindergarten wanted to be involved as well, so they opened a lemonade stand in front of the school and sold lemonade to veterinary students who walked past the prep school during the car wash. They earned EC $326.06.
On January 25th, some of the students made soup and cheese biscuits with Ms. Lonnie and offered lunch to students and teachers for EC $5 the next day, bringing the total amount for their efforts to EC $313.50.
In addition, one of the daycare parents painted a picture that brought in EC $300 through a silent auction, bringing the total amount earned to EC $4,060.96.
The money was channeled through the American Association of Schools in South America, along with dozens of donations from other international schools. We are happy to know that 100 percent of this donation will go directly to Haiti for needy victims.
Three cheers to our super students!
