School Announcements
The Hoops for Haiti event was held after school on Friday, March 5th and proved to be a tremendous success. The school is sending a check for $2500.00 to the school/orphanage in Haiti that is supported by the Mercy and Sharing Foundation. Additional information about this organization can be found at www.haitichildren.com
Hoops for Haiti was an 8th grade student vs. staff basketball game with a goal of raising $1,000.00 for the orphanage/school. However, the response to this event was incredible, and the eighth graders far exceeded their goal. Many thanks to everyone who participated and attended this event, your support made our service project an overwhelming success.
We are incredibly proud of the efforts of the this school community, our students and parents, teachers and staff, administration, referees, and police officers who gave their time and financial support to the children who are living in this foundation’s Haitian orphanage/school.
