Lincoln Students Help Haiti
By Anita Henry on Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 |
Lincoln Elementary fifth-grader Jacob Garlits organized a fund drive for the earthquake victims of Haiti in February.
He and his committee created a flyer to send to parents, decorated collection boxes, and presented a skit over video announcements. They kept track of daily donations on a bulletin board graph, and had a special “Hat Day” when students could wear hats for a quarter.
Mr. Thompsons’s class and Mrs. Oden’s class added some of their mini mall profits to the effort. In all, they collected over $335 to present to the Red Cross to send to Haiti.
