Elizabeth Ide's Haiti Relief Fund
This month at Elizabeth Ide, we are going to raise funds to help the people of Haiti. Money raised will be given to the Haitian relief fund.
The way in which we are going to raise funds is through collecting pennies and spare change. Each classroom will have a Helping Haiti collection container. The collection will start on Wednesday, January 20th and end on Friday, January 29th. If your child finds spare change at home and is going to contribute, please have him/her place the change in a ziplock bag. He/she will deposit it to the classroom fund on the day it is brought in.
Thank you for supporting our Character Counts program and remember: even a small amount of money can go a long way!
