Student Events for Tsunami Relief
Aquebogue collected snack money for the victims of the tsunami
and raised about $300. January 28th Aquebogue also held a
“Super Shooter” gym
class fund-raiser with pledges for baskets shot and
brought in
another $2,900 for
tsunami relief.
Their grand total so far is $3,235.61.
The money they raised will be given to the U.S. Fund
for UNICEF.
The students at Riley Avenue also donated their Friday snack
and ice cream money in January to the tsunami victims. They
raised $1,460.50. The money will be used to purchase
"School in a Box" kits. Each box contains enough
school supplies for 80 students.
The students are learning that every little bit can help,
and that everyone can help!
The money/boxes will be donated through UNICEF.
 Students
at the Roanoke Avenue School handed over a check for $472.82
to a representative of the Red Cross on Friday, February 18th
at 2:00 P.M. at a school assembly.
 Everybody
at Phillips emptied their piggy banks, donated their ice cream
money, tooth fairy money, and through the concerted efforts
of a concerned community came up with a grand total of $1,522
in 6 weeks. Their donations will also go to the Red
Cross.
 The
RHS Student Government is selling RHS Blue Wave “cling-on”
stickers for $2.00 each. If you’d like to donate, call

sold about $200 worth.

The RHS Key Club held a Talent Show at the Vail-Leavitt Theater
and raised $500 for UNICEF's tsunami relief fund.
 Students
at the Pulaski Street School also spent much of the month
of January fund-raising for the victims of the tsunami and
gathering supplies for people in the community. For tsunami
victims, two classes raffled off donated bikes and raised
$500. The money will be given to Doctors Without Borders.
Ms. Jones’, Ms. Martin’s and Ms. Belmonte’s
classes held bake sales and raised over $700. Their total
so far is over $1,200.
 The
Middle School's fund-raiser sponsored by the Future Nurses
Club took place on Monday, February 14th. It was called "HAVE
A HEART". The members of the Future Nurses Club made
600 chocolate heart-shaped lollipops and sold them for 50
cents each during the lunch hours, raising a total of $300.
They've also been collecting change in the school's main office.
The money they raise will be given to UNICEF.
These are just the events that have been reported so far.
