We reached our goal!!!!!

As of today, Friday, February 26th--post Hope for Haiti Dodgeball Tournament--we have $15,710.60 in the bank!!!  That is more than enough to support 5 Haitian schools for one year each.  We set out to reach a pretty hefty goal and we are proud to say that we reached it and then went beyond!! 

We will be leaving the account open at 5/3rd bank through Wednesday, March 10th.  We continue to encourage community members and students to contribute to the fund so that we can continue to watch it climb before donating it to the Restavek Foundation!  Please feel free to drop by the Middle School to drop off a donation (checks made out to: LMS French Class) or any 5/3rd bank location.

We are blown away by your generosity and kindness!!

 

And CONGRATULATIONS to the DREAM TEAM for winning the tournament!!!

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!

HELLO LOVELAND!!!!!!!  Today is finally here....the day that we have been awaiting for a whole month....the day of the DODGEBALL TOURNAMENT!!!!  We have prepared and so many loving and kind people have come together to organize this event--we are ready to welcome everyone and to raise the remaining amount needed to support 5 Haitian schools for one whole year!

The LMS Stageband will be performing beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the MS gym and the tournament will begin at 6:30.  Admission is $3 and we have an outstanding raffle with a lot of generously donated items!!  There will be pizza, baked goods, candy, chips, beverages and more.....but most importantly, there will be an energized school building full of people ready to help orphaned Haitian children!  You can park at LMS/LIS and overflow parking will be available in the Grace Church and UMC parking lots on S. Lebanon.  LMS and LIS front doors will be open, as will the doors for either gym.  Payment for admission will be due at each gym door, concessions will be in the cafeteria, and raffle items will be in the LIS lobby, just outside the cafeteria.

PLEASE WEAR RED AND BLUE!!!!  We are looking for as many people as possible to wear red or blue to support our cause--those are the colors of the Haitian flag!

Can't wait to see you all there!!!!!!
