Haiti
Relief Fund at Willie E. Thompson
Middle School
Willie E. Thompson Middle School’s Y.E.S. Club, Kempton,
Herig, Jerome, Merrill Park, Chester Miller and Stone Elementary Schools
collectively recognized the devastation caused by the massive earthquake
in Haiti. Each building collected money to donate to Haiti Relief Efforts.
Normally uniformed students at Thompson were allowed to wear jeans, shirt
of choice and hat for a "one day" for a cost of $3.00. Elementary
Schools conducted penny drives and similar fund-raisers. The buildings
were able to raise a combined total of $3,749. The American Red Cross
will use the money to help feed, shelter, and provide other basic needs
such as food, shelter, supplies, clean water, and emergency medical care.
Jody E. Botwright, Executive Director of the American Red Cross, Saginaw
County Chapter, came to Willie E. Thompson Middle School on Thursday,
January 21. Willie E. Thompson Middle School and elementary feeder school
representatives made a formal donation to support relief efforts in Haiti.
