Students and staff of St. Paul Catholic Elementary School were thrilled to present a $1000 cheque made out to Canadian Development and Peace on Thursday, March 4, 2010. The students presented the cheque to Sudbury Catholic Trustee Paula Peroni who was on hand at the school to accept the money on behalf of the organization. The money was raised to help out people in Haiti still reeling from the devastating earthquake.
St. Paul Catholic Elementary School Takes a Different “Step” to Support Haitian Relief
The Sudbury Catholic District School Board’s Haitian relief support is continually ongoing. To that effect, on top of the $1000 that the school raised in one day, St. Paul Catholic Elementary School decided to donate gently used shoes to the people of Haiti in partnership with the Soft Moc Shoe store in the New Sudbury Mall.
Students were asked to bring in shoes that were still in good shape to send overseas so that the children of Haiti could protect their feet as the walking has become treacherous because of all the debris on the ground. The students were encouraged to write a short message to put in the shoes to let them know that our students are praying for them.
