In response to the earthquake and devastation in Haiti, the Madison Student Council coordinated two ways for our students to give to those who are in need.
One of our efforts was to collect cash to donate to the American Red Cross. Our students and their families donated over $1,500, which we proudly gave to the American Red Cross.
The second effort was to partner with Sport Chalet and collect gently used shoes. The Madison student body heard the call and donated 735 pairs of shoes.
These are just two examples of the big hearts and generous spirits of our Madison community!

pn08-rpgoodkidsB.jpgSince Bryant Elementary school in Long Beach missed last year's Green Nose Day... USA fundraiser last March, they kept the little money boxes that contained the clown noses and used the boxes to collect money for those who are not so fortunate. The students and their parents decided that more loving thing to do would be to have a fundraiser outcome be sent to Habitat for Humanity for the Haiti relief efforts. The fundraiser began March 5.
