SCHOOLS COME SJ
TOGETHER FOR HAITI
Pupils from primary schools in Croxley Green
came together to show their charitable spirit by
raising over £1,600 for people suffering in Haiti.
Youngsters from Harvey Road, Malvern Way,
York Mead and Little Green were given pictures
by their teachers of things that people suffering
in the country would typically need, such as wa-
ter, food, shelter and medical items.
They were then asked to bring in coins and
small change that were in piggy banks or given
to them, and stick them to the picture.
Little Green headteacher, Graham Metcalfe,
said he was delighted with the response of his
pupils and said it was encouraging that they
were interested in global affairs.
He said: “What‟s great is that all the primary
schools have come together and this has been a
real community effort.”
York Mead pupil, Jack, said that his school
wanted to help because the people in Haiti
needed the money “so much,” while Mrs
Southam, a teaching assistant at the school,
commended the efforts of all the pupils involved
across the area. The charitable idea came from Harvey Road
students Shivani and Zakia, both ten, who saw
the images of people suffering in Haiti and
wanted to do something to help them.
Shivani told My Croxley News: “Our teacher
was talking about Haiti in assembly and we felt
really sorry for them.
“We saw that they had nothing and it made us
really sad, so we came up with this idea and we
are really pleased with how well it went.”
The bright and charitable pair put the idea to
their headteacher, Nick Rowlands, before news
spread around the school that the school would
be supporting the people in Haiti.
“We never expected to raise so much money,”
said Zakia.
Head Mr Rowlands said he was “very proud” of
the achievements of all the schools that got in-
volved in the scheme and stressed how important
it was youngsters were taking an interest in
global issues.
