Glenbard Township High School District 87 has started various fundraising efforts throughout its four high schools to provide relief to earthquake survivors in Haiti.
“Like so many in the community, our students were eager to help those devastated by the disaster in Haiti,” said Peg Mannion, community relations coordinator for District 87.
Glenbard East Many fundraising ideas have been suggested to school officials. A District 87 press release said during one period of the day, students will hold a competition to raise money.
Classrooms will compete against each other to raise as much money as possible, whether it be in bills or loose change. The class that raises the most money will win a pizza party.
Shahe Bagdasarian, assistant principal of student services at East, said the Student Council might set up a collection jar at lunch instead of the competition.
“They’re probably going to start the fundraisers at some point this week,” Bagdasarian said.
Glenbard North Student groups are putting together a Shelter Box to send to Haiti. This includes a tent for a family of 10, coloring books, crayons and pens, survival equipment such as thermal blankets and insulated ground sheets, and tool kits with hammers, axes, saws and more. There is a Shelter Box tent set up inside the school to show students and staff what will be sent to Haiti.
Additionally, the following student groups are collecting donations: Organization of Political Students, Black Student Association, Yearbook, French Club, Cheer, Future Teachers of America, National Honor Society and Club Interact.
Glenbard South The Students for Students group is conducting a unique relief project. Since many Haitians speak French, students are sending cards and good wishes in French and English to those in hospitals or living in difficult conditions.
All money raised in South’s Live Life Well Week will go to the American Red Cross. The school also is in contact with UNICEF to possibly set up a fundraiser.
Glenbard West The Student Council and school staff are in the process of organizing a variety of fundraising drives to contribute to the American Red Cross.
