Fancy Fingers to Help Haiti

Here are some pictures from Clairlea's Helping Haiti fundraising this week. I will try to get around to other classes next week to get pictures of students who aren't in Room 204 for the Clairlea blog. Students from kindergarten to Grade 8 pitched in and made worry dolls, which have been selling like hot cakes. Next week, more classes will be making these dolls. As many families know, Ayden and Kaly Smith's mother volunteered her time and materials and painted hundreds of fingernails to raise money for Haiti. We can't thank her enough. Thanks to the students who assisted her when the line-ups became huge. We've now raised close to $800 for Haiti. Well done!
Some of the terrific kids in our class who have been working hard to help raise money for Haiti. We're confident that we'll raise more than our goal of $1000.
Here's to all the boys who jumped at the chance to get hard rock nails. "Goodnight Seattle. Rock on!"

Hand, hand, fingers, thumb. One thumb, one thumb drumming on a drum...
A familiar face with our new student teacher, Miss Esling. You survived your first crazy, but wonderful week at Clairlea. It should be a cakewalk from this point on.

Bravo!
