Jacob.....how can we help the kids in Haiti?

When one 3rd grader in West Virginia named Jacob heard about the earthquake and kids in Haiti needing shoes, he went to his 3rd grade teacher, Ms Scollick and his guidance counselor, Mrs, Frazier and said "can we help?" The class had often talked about how they needed to "put themselves into someone else's shoes" during some of their lessons and this was an opportunity to do just that. Mrs Frazier also mentioned it to one of the other 3rd grade classes and together they began to make a plan.

At both of the schools they began collecting money and for every dollar they collected, they would put up a "paper shoe" on the wall. Mrs. Frazier said that the kids brought in loose change and dollar bills and between those two 3rd grade classes, they have collected $846.83!!!! What can one person do????? Jacob, he saw a need and he wanted to make a difference. That money will go to purchase shoes for the children of Haiti and its because of Jacob, his teacher, his counselor, Mrs Frazier who got in touch with Shoes for Haiti's Kids, that the kids in Haiti will be walking around in a new pair of shoes! Thank you Jacob and all the 3rd graders, you are the ones who will put the smiles on the children of Haiti ..........MERCI!!!!
