CARE KITS DELIVERED TO HEART TO HEART
Wellsville Middle School and Elementary School Student Councils have been working through a joint effort to help people suffering the effects of the Haiti earthquakes this spring. The Student Councils wanted to find a way to directly help people instead of just collecting money to help with this cause. It was decided to provide care kits for Heart to Heart, an organization in Olathe, who provided a list of items needed and a way to get them to the people in need.
The care kits provide basic supplies like a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, washcloths, and soap. The two student councils split up the list of 10 needed supplies and collected those items at the schools. Money was also collected to help pay for shipping costs.
The councils were able to collect enough of their supplies to make 150 kits and they have been delivered to Heart to Heart.
We want to thank all who gave generously to help us reach out to people in real need and we are very thankful for all the hard work by both student councils.
