DONATIONS FOR HAITI
To date, students and staff from 84 schools throughout Edmonton Public Schools have raised over $140,000 to support the victims of Haiti. Many of the fundraising activities were organized directly by students and included activities such as collecting change, having a community dance, hosting a pancake breakfast, selling popcorn and bottle drives. Millwoods Christian School alone raised over $15,500 and Greenfield School partnered with the Greenfield Baptist Church to collect over $14,300.
Schools have chosen many different charities to support and the response by students and staff to this tragedy has been remarkable.
Edmonton Public Schools is helping to shape the future in every one of our classrooms. We’re focused on ensuring each student learns to their full potential and develops the ability, passion and imagination to pursue their dreams and contribute to their community.
