March 1, 2010 - The SJHS French Club and advisors Julie Rubtchinsky and Holly Blau recently held a successful “Hats for Haiti” program. Students and adults purchased a sticker for $1.00 (or any donation greater then $1.00), which allowed them to wear a hat for the entire school day. A total of $360.00 was collected, which was donated directly to the American Red Cross to help in their relief efforts in Haiti.

In addition, SJHS nurse, Joan Schneider and her assistant, Suzanne Sail, organized a “Health Kits for Haiti” donation drive. Each health kit collected consisted of: 1 hand towel, 1 wash cloth, a large comb, a fingernail clipper, 1 bath-size bar of soap, 1 toothbrush, and 6 band aids. Each had to be sealed in a one-gallon plastic bag. The Shaker Junior High community stepped up once again, as a total of 204 Health Kits for Haiti was donated.
