Hero's for Haiti

Airdrie Alberta has some pretty Great Schools from two different Divisions the Rocky View School Division and the Calgary Catholic School Board. The kids that attend these schools are absolutely amazing, not only do they contribute to the community by erasing graphitti off community fences as Bert Church High School students did this past year but they also consider the impact of poverty and disaster world wide. A good example of this is St. Martin de Porres High School, the students banded together to raise funds for those affected by the Haiti earthquake. Some of St. Martin de Porres High School, Students, Staffers and Teachers spent the month of February fundraising foe a 24-hour famine they held on February 26th to raise money for Haiti.

When the final numbers were calculated the students and staffers of St. Martin de Porres High School in Airdrie, Alberta had raised more than $25,000 through the various events held at the school throughout February. Rob Braille an English Teacher at St. Martin de Porres High School, exclaimed "Our goal was $10,000 and we had 75 kids follow through with the actual famine, so it was more than we hoped for, "It was pretty overwhelming."
