SWEA Raises Over $4,500
For Haiti Relief

SWEDESBORO — Members of the Swedesboro-Woolwich Education Association put those words, Respect, Responsibility, Caring into action by leading “A Dollar a Day for Haiti” fund drive throughout the district, culminating in the collection of $4596.51 in a little over four days in January to aid Haiti Earthquake Relief efforts.

Students, teachers, and other staff from all four buildings brought in their dollars and change and steadily the total rose to more than $4,500, all of which has been donated to the American Red Cross, where it will aid the earthquake victims in many ways.

DOLLAR A DAY FOR HAITI fundraiser brought in over $4,500 dollars. Shown here with the check are (top) Katherin Young, Pierra Dorliae, Megan McGowan (bottom) Matthew Kushnerock, Brianne Slusar and Croce Randazzo.
 


Every day SWEA members encourage students in the themes of respect, responsibility, and caring in our own community, in conjunction with the district’s Character Education Initiative. The Haitian earthquake disaster brought home the idea that our community can help the larger world, too. “During times like this, we must remember that we are a global community without borders, and that our fellow world neighbors need our help,” said Steve Kreps, SWEA President.
