Heart to Heart Thank you so much to all the students, who with the support of their parents and teachers, so graciously supported Lakeside's 2010 Heart to Heart program. Students supported Heart to Heart by nominating organizations, raising money at home and participating in spirit days. Some of the ways students raised money at home this year were by having bake sales, shoveling, doing chores, returning pop cans, donating tooth fairy money, using manners at home and brushing mom's hair. Every single effort helped and by pulling together, Lakeside students raised a record breaking $5086.61 this year!!
With this money, Lakeside students then donated $2086.61 to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief, $2,000.00 to the Kent County Humane Society and $1,000.00 to the High School Kindness Counts Scholarship. All of these organizations were very grateful!! The top 3 collecting classrooms were Mr. Pullen's 3rd grade, Mr. Mitton's 3rd grade and Mrs. Reardon's 5th grade. The top 10 collectors for this year were (in alphabetical order): Maura Burnes Kate Campbell Pete Campbell Charles Connor Jack Lehmann Clare McDonald Elizabeth Moore David Morris Rachele Winterburger Jill Woodhouse
Thanks again for your amazing generosity & hard work Lakeside students!! The Heart to Heart Committee
