First Grade Walks To Show Love

Pembroke Hill first graders know a little more about the devastation in Haiti because one of their classmates has family in that country.  They watch the news, see the photos, and they realize that someone they know has been affected by the earthquake.

So, they decided they needed to do something to help.  After some discussion, they decided to sponsor a Walk For Love, in which they asked

for donations as they walked 25 laps on Tuesday, Jan. 26.  Because of cold weather, the walk was held in the Deramus Field House.

As they waited for the whistle to blow, the first graders anxiously lined up to begin the walk.  Parents, faculty and even a little brother joined in! As of Tuesday afternoon, the walk had raised over $5,000!  All proceeds will go to the American Red Cross.
