Behind The Scenes Marketing "Scheme"

On Jan29th a Friday, the 4th,5th, and 8th graders of Cornerstone Learning Community put on a "Haitian Food For Haitian Lives" fundraiser, to help raise money for Haiti after the earthquake hit. Two of our teachers here at school have some relashion to the subject, Miss Small the 4th grade teacher is from Jamaica, and  Miss Janviar the social studies teacher she happens to be part Jamaican and Haitian now for the info.

I am writing on how they got they got the word out . Its the day before the event, children are scurrying around the room putting last min touches on there posters, now some quotes from the kids,5th grade student Jay,"Well, you know its for a good cause and well you know its a GREAT way to stay in shape and well you know its for a good cause. Other student Wilson Abshire, does concer.

For most children this was not a horrible experience.The poster making was fun as student Lilli Hanks said "It was fun running around the school hanging up posters and what not." Personally I thought getting the word out was easier than it would be, but it was still fun, with a total earning of $1200. With a total number of  75 students, in my perspective that's a lot of money. student Augie Soder quotes ,"It was hard but it was fun." That's how we, the 5th,4th and 8th grade ,GOT THE WORD OUT.
