How We Helped Haiti

On Jan. 29, 2009 Cornerstone's 4th grade, 5th grade and 8th grade classes set up a fundraiser to help the Haitians in the earthquake. I asked some questions to administrator and principal Bev Wells.

Here is what her responses were "I thought it was lots of fun and a great gathering of the community. The many parents who attended was a good sign of the shared mission of the school. Plus the food was good and the money was raised."

I also asked some questions to administrator Sandy Eggars here are her responses

"Happy to see the turnout and people willing to give to others" 8th grade math teacher Suzanne Ferrel-Locke who also has a word on that

"It seemed well orginized and effective"

This fundraiser has been a fantastic contribution to all of the Haitians that are in the Earthquake and I think everyone is happy with how we helped Haiti at their time of need.

This was a very succesful fundraiser due to how much money we have raised. Our predictions on how much money we would actually raise was way lower than our actual turnout which was $1400. Bake- sale employee Augie Soder quotes "Well like- um, it was frustrating that people were yelling what they wanted at you. At the same time it was fun to actually be sort of in charge of something." In this image you will see four fifth grade students named Augie Soder, Peter Sass, Jay Filmore and Wilson Abshire working on a poster for the bake sale "menu," which stood on the side of a purple platform so customers could see what there was and how much it was.

Despite the lack of orginization in the swarm of rabid kids stampeding down the hill at the "CommunitySing" all of the employees were having a silent party with tuns of celebration, just that everyone was phenominally reliefed and extremely tired.

As a conclusion, we all contributed a good $1400 to go to Haitians in need.
