Plink, plink, plink. The sound of coins dropping into collection jars at district schools equals more funds being sent to victims of the earthquake that struck Haiti this month.
Students at 12 schools within the Elk Grove Unified School District participated in coin drives to raise money for the millions of people in Haiti whose homes and lives were destroyed by the magnitude 7.0 earthquake on Jan. 12.
Schools include: Maeola Beitzel Elementary School, Raymond Case Elementary School, Helen Carr Castello Elementary School, John Ehrhardt Elementary School, Elk Grove Elementary School, Prairie Elementary School, Sunrise Elementary School, Katherine L. Albiani Middle School, Harriet Eddy Middle School, Elizabeth Pinkerton Middle School, T.R. Smedberg Middle School, and Franklin High School.
Jessica Dalhaus, a sixth-grade student at Beitzel Elementary, opened up her colorful macramé coin pouch to pull out a handful of change and some dollar bills for her school’s donation drive.
