Ms. Meadows Grade 6 Responses to the Haiti Earthquakes

“The everlasting thing like chairs are the only thing people have.”

“Every building is collapsed.  All the buildings are grey.  It doesn’t look anything like a neighbourhood anymore.”

“That is crazy.  All of those homes gone, all of that food gone, all of that shelter gone.”

“I really don’t like watching people go through rough times or try to find food and water.”

“Where is everyone going to live?  Where did everyone go?”

“It brings a new name to destruction.”

“All of the buildings have been completely scrapped but yet tables and chairs made it through somehow.  People are looking for anything to survive.”

“The people look so sad that they can’t live in their houses.”

“Weird how some things totally destroyed and some perfect.”

“It is amazing all the people on the streets without homes.  Everything is wrecked.”

“1 word – scary!”

“I think it is kind of sad because they barely had anything and now they have less.”

“The green trees make it hard to believe there was a disaster.”

“It looks like a giant wave went under the land, making the land wave too, making the houses crumble.”

“It would be the worst to not have a home anymore like these people.”

“Roofs everywhere there were streets.  You can’t see anything.  All you can see is destroyed houses and roofs.”

“I wonder how all of the trees are so green and look very healthy and un-damaged and the houses look so bad.”

“This looks like an abandoned city, where everything has aged and began to crumble and rot.”

“Why are some buildings standing and others that are so close are crushed and don’t have much body left to them

Hats for Haiti

The situation affecting the small nation of Haiti has been a topic of conversation among staff and students. Many students felt that they needed to do something to help the victims of the devastating earthquakes.  In collaboration with their teachers the idea of "Hats for Haiti" was developed.    Students would donate $2.00 for the privilege of wearing a hat in the school on Friday. 

The generosity of the community was evident as many families and students made additional cash donations. The current estimate of funds raised is close to $2000.00
