Help for Haiti
|
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Jeans Day for Haiti. We raised over $1,800 for the Catholic Relief Services emergency fund...wow! We held a school-wide prayer service last week for the victims of the earthquake and continue to pray for those affected by the tragedy. Nothing can ever compare to the magnitude of life lost in Haiti; however, in an effort to put the number of deaths in perspective, Mrs. Odom's 4th grade class began a project last week to try to understand. The class is counting, sorting and bagging 200,000 popcorn kernels -- 200,000 is the number of victims reported to have died in the earthquake. The class estimates it will take a few weeks to count that many kernels.    Top: Karalynn Kelly counts and sorts 1,000 popcorn kernels. Bottom: Jackie Thybulle, Camilo Plata and Ryan Trabulsy sort and bag the popcorn kernels. |

The annual Jog-A-Thon is next week! The next Turn-In Day is tomorrow, Thursday, Jan. 28th.

The Jog-A-Thon is Friday, February 5. We need everyone's
participation to make this event a success. Our school goal is $24,000
and if every student turns in at least $42 in pledges, we will make our
goal.
Thank you to our generous sponsors of this event: Big Apple Pizza, Tropical Smoothie, Presutti's Italian Subs and Panera Bread! And thank you to all the parents and grandparents who have signed up to volunteer! It's going to be a great event!
