Sixth grade students in the Read 180 program at Sherwood Elementary raised $507 for the American Red Cross in their Helping Hands for Haiti service learning project.

     When the January earthquake in Haiti occurred, Mrs. Otto and Mrs. Schnabel’s students jumped into action with a service learning project to aid the victims. Students had already studied the effects of earthquakes in their lesson on Natural Disasters.  After watching videos displaying the devastation in Haiti, students decided to organize a pretzel sale for their school.
