Congratulations! How proud I am of my Platt students, teachers and employees!

We dispersed during Tuesday, February 9, 2010 three wonderful half an hour happenings with music and “beneficial snack pizza” to show solidarity to Haiti.  Our students, teachers and employees demonstrated unprecedented compassion, philanthropy and solidarity. We raised $916!!! Our goal was $900. Hooray!

Less than three hundred people donated in such a short period of time more than our goal was. The money will go to organization “Artists for peace and Justice” (http://artistsforpeaceandjustice.com/) that is building schools in Haiti. Perhaps we managed to add money worth of building one classroom!

One seemingly ordinary Tuesday turned into extraordinary day of sharing, giving and remembering to do anything to restore our world to its original beauty.

Congratulation! We did it!
