Cultural Awareness Club Raises Funds for Haiti
This year, millions of people around the world were shocked by the earthquake in Haiti, and began to send money to numerous Haiti Relief organizations. With the support of Mr. Davis and faculty advisor Claudia Sharlin, the Cultural Awareness club responded by organizing two fundraisers. The first was an out of uniform day: if you brought in at least a dollar to the Help Haiti fund, you were allowed to come to school out of uniform last Wednesday. More than 2/3 of the high school donated money, and many people donated more than the required $1. The club’s second initiative was a “Churro & Hot Chocolate” sale. More than sold 200 churros were sold to students and faculty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the end, the Cultural Awareness Club raised approximately $600, and will be donating the money to Help for Haiti.

8th Grade Hits the Slopes
On February 3 the eighth grade enjoyed a day on the slopes at Paoli Peaks ski resort. The weather was beautiful and the slopes were a little icy but full of snow. The students were full of enthusiasm and eager to hit the slopes. The students were able to take a lesson from qualified instructors for snowboarding and skiing and it was fun to see the students enjoying an activity which will be a lifelong skill.

The students encouraged each other and showed a willingness to help each other throughout the day. This is a trip that the students look forward to each year and they showed the Collegiate spirit and excellence which we have come to know. Well done to all for a fun day on the slopes.
