Jamestown Elementary holds Japan Relief Fundraiser
(Posted April 5, 2011)
The students and staff at Jamestown Elementary School in the Hazelwood School District have once again stepped up to support the needs of others after a natural disaster. After five days of fundraising, the school will present a check for $1,200 to the American Red Cross to assist with relief efforts in Japan due to the earthquake in March.
A representative from the agency will visit Jamestown Elementary on April 6 at 8:50 a.m. to accept the donation during the school’s morning meeting.
From March 28 through April 1, students could donate at least $1 a day to participate in theme days such as Crazy Hair Day, Shades Day and Dress Down for Japan. Jamestown Elementary is a uniform school. Staff members who donated $15 were allowed to dress casually for the week.
In a message of thanks to staff and parents, Dr. Lisa Strauther, principal, said “Once again, you have shown your caring spirit!”
In January 2010, the school raised $1,400 in less than a week for earthquake relief in Haiti. Spirit and theme days served as incentives, including Dr. Strauther committing to kissing a horse if the school met its fundraising goal.
