Today, students were finally able to meet Christina Rockwell, a former Sparta graduate. Christina presented to Sparta students about the issues that people in Haiti face. Now, it is time to act. This presentation kicks off the annual 6th Grade Haiti Fundraiser. The goal is to raise $5,000 from now until Spring Break. We have been talking about this for weeks. The students have been encourage to:
- Babysit and donate the money to UMCOR or Pure Water for the World.
Ask to complete extra jobs and donate the money earned to Haiti.- Donate their hard earned money and try to get relatives and friends to match their donation.
- Do a neighborhood pop can drive with a friend.
- Create something to sell (bracelets, bookmarks, etc.) and donate the proceeds.
- Find a way to help in their own way.
Please encourage your child to get involved. Part of being an active citizen in our society is to help those in need. Students have been told to get their parent's permission before starting to raise any money. If you have any questions, let me know.
