Capeless Students Provide Hope for Haiti
HOPE FOR HAITI
Over the next several weeks, Capeless students are being asked to bring in spare change which will be donated to the American Red Cross to support their efforts to help Haiti. The change collected in this effort will be tallied in each grade individually and an acknowledgment will be awarded to the grade that collects the most.
See how much we've raised - jugs can be found in the school foyer!
To continue our fund raising efforts, we will be reaching out to the community - we are in need of empty, clean coffee cans - please send them to school with your child if you can help!
