Haiti Help
During the first few minutes of the Elementary Staff inservice yesterday, we had a conversation about how to handle student questions and concerns dealing with the tragedy in Haiti. We all agreed that sometimes, when it feels like there is no answer, the best thing to do is to show you care. We decided the kids would really embrace the idea of helping out the kids of Haiti by participating in a penny drive. The entire upcoming week has been designated as Penny Week. All money raised will be donated to a charity to be used in the Haiti relief effort. Start looking in the couch for pennies. Or if you are like me, check out the cup holder in your car for extra change. If you wish, send pennies, (or any amount of money), to school with your child and help us show the world that Jesup Elementary cares.
