SHS cares for Haiti!
Over the course of the last two weeks, a number of student organizations and staff have come together to coordinate their efforts in support of the people and ongoing relief work in Haiti. Collection boxes have been set up around the school for the purpose of raising money that can be donated to the Red Cross' initiative in Haiti. Texting "Haiti" to "90999" is another effective and safe way of making a donation.
