Spirit day raises funds for Haiti.
Caledonia, Ontario – Monday, April 5, 2010 – 200 students from St. Patrick’s School in Caledonia, ON celebrated the spirit of Canada by raising $1,400 for Haiti relief.
As a way to show support for Canadians at the Olympic Games the school organized a “Spirit Day” where students dressed up in red and white and raised funds to help send packages of dry soup to children like them who are in desperate need.“I am truly inspired and proud to be apart of the St. Patrick's School community in Caledonia.” says Denis Shaw, a mother of two students at St. Patrick’s and a nurse who traveled to Haiti last month. “The students did an amazing job in doing what they can to help.”
The funds raised by the school are helping pay for the shipment of dried soup pouches which left on a container for Haiti this week. FTC Canada has sent 6 containers of food and supplies to Haiti and has two more scheduled to leave in April.
