Teacher Mr. Mike Slater and students Grace Lemmon and Matthew Slater presented the American Red Cross Mount Rainier Chapter with their contributions to help the families and children devastated by the Haiti earthquake.

Students from Mr. Mike Slater’s Second Grade Class at Chloe Clark Elementary School in DuPont helped organize a fundraiser to support Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti. Chloe Clark Elementary School raised an amazing $2,120.99 thanks to the generous contributions by students, teachers, staff members, and parents. After hearing the news of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the students of Chloe Clark Elementary rallied together to help the families and especially the children left homeless by the disaster. Kudos goes out to the group for the global citizenship and compassion for helping others.

The American Red Cross has spent or committed more than $78 million to meet the most urgent needs of earthquake survivors. The American Red Cross and its partners are producing almost 1 million liters of water per day, enough for 185,000 people to receive 5.4 liters per person per day. The global Red Cross network has distributed nearly 4.2 million liters of water in 115 sites. Red Cross distributions of food and relief items such as blankets, kitchen sets, hygiene kits, buckets, water containers, laundry soap/detergent, and mosquito nets have reached nearly 20,000 families (or 100,000 people) to date with plans to increase this number.
