On Friday, Feb. 12, Gordon Elementary School held an event called “Hoops and Hugs for Haiti.” 

All of the children participated in various activities to show their concern and compassion for the country of Haiti.  Students and faculty wore red and blue clothes, the colors of the Haitian flag, to show support.  The students went to the gym and put monetary donations into a Haitian “hoop” and then hula hooped to Caribbean music.  They then continued on to the art room or music room where they created banners and Valentine’s cards to send to their peers in Haiti.

Terri Cooper and Terry Poland added that the students raised $3071.61 and made over 100 of the cutest cards you have ever seen! We are so proud of our children and their families for doing this!

The money will be sent to The Clinton Bush Haiti fund from W. W. Gordon Elementary.
