DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

1/27/10

 

HS students:  Your help is needed/requested.  Haiti experienced a devastating earthquake on January 13 that has affected over 3 million people.  The death toll is estimated at about 200,000 people.  Most of the survivors are without food, water, shelter, and needed medical attention.  What can we do to help?  We can “Help the Sun Shine on Haiti” by donating money to the relief effort.  Any student who wants to donate to the cause is asked to bring money to his/her Seminar teacher by Friday, January 29.  Any student making a donation is encouraged to “Help the Sun Shine on Haiti” by wearing sunglasses, shorts, and/or a favorite hat.  Also, the Seminar that raises the most money will be given 1 day of an open campus privilege during their Seminar and lunch periods.  That is equal to over 1 hour of freedom!  Let’s rally together to help those in need in Haiti.  Thank you in advance for your donations to “Help the Sun Shine on Haiti”.

 

Today’s lunch is BBQ chicken, etc.
