How much money did we raise for Haiti? Here is an update on Change for Haiti. We had a big assembly February 19th 2010. The kids from AES came to GBS to celebrate all the money we raised for Haiti. GBS made $795.30 and AES made $763.90.
The magazine staff counted all of the money that GBS had collected for Haiti. We found lots of coins from other countries that accidentally got mixed in. There were coins from Europe and the Carribean. We also found many wheat pennies mixed in and other weird coins. One had a bullet hole. Another was from Chuck E. Cheese! At AES, someone put a $100 bill in the jar. No one knows who.
Every one was so happy that we got all that money for Haiti. We cheered for all the work that we had done for Haiti. The money is going to the Clinton Bush Fund for Haiti. The money is going to buy supplies like clothing, toothbrushes, food and medicine.
Mr. Elder did end up wearing the girl costume! Mr. Elder had promised to serve lunch in the cafeteria for all grades and wear a girl costume if we raised $750 for Haiti. ( Not including AES.) (Here is a link to another article about this). Students thought it was funny and enjoyed seeing him like that. Mr. Elder actually served the lunch to the students with an ice cream scoop. He looked funny and everyone thought his slippers were funny. 
Overall, Change for Haiti went well. It feels good to help people in Haiti get what they need.
