The response to the Helping Japan coin donation was tremendous! While collecting the coins over a 2 week period, WE RAISED $1141.93!!! The students, parents and teachers at Elizabeth Ide contributed to raising the awareness about the importance of helping the people of Japan. Our donation will be donated directly to the Red Cross organization.
Thank you for supporting our Character Counts program mission to help the people of Japan!!
