HAITI FUND

Just a reminder that on Friday, GMS will be collecting donations during homeroom to donate to the Haiti Fund. We are hoping that each staff member and student will bring $1.00 to donate to this cause. Yes, you can donate more if you wish. We will then be calling in our donation to Channel 6 telethon and challenge other schools to get involved and beat our donation. This money will be given to the Red Cross and immediately sent out to help the people of Haiti. Thanks in advance for your participation and we will be around after homeroom to pick up the donation envelopes from all homeroom teachers.

For any staff that would like to contribute but do not have a homeroom…feel free to stop by my room anytime between now and Friday morning…..Thanks!
