Hearts for Haiti funds collected from this school-wide project were donated to the Restevek Foundation. Each student made a Heart for Haiti to sell and we made paper hearts for ourselves to show we were united in our efforts to help their people. Each grade was assigned a different heart base: 2nd-red felt, 3rd-wood hearts, 4th & 5th-aluminum. This artsaysthat students are aware, will stop to help, want to show express empathy and make a difference to better someone else’s life.
