IDE STUDENTS LEND A HELPING HAND

COLLECTION FOR JAPAN

The response to the Helping Japan coin donation was tremendous! While collecting the coins over a 2-week period, WE RAISED $1,141.93. The students, parents, and teachers at Elizabeth Ide really contributed to raising the awareness about the importance of helping the people of Japan. Thank you to Mrs. Tran for organizing this terrific project. Our donation will be donated directly to the Red Cross organization.

All of our students were so concerned and demonstrated great generosity. One of our first grade students emptied her piggy bank of $90.00 in gold dollars to help people who were really in need! She earned a very special PAW!

Thank you for supporting our Character Counts program mission to help the people of Japan!! I hope you all have a wonderful spring break and enjoy your time together!
