Haiti's Earthquake

By Valeria O.

Right here at Webster Middle School everybody helped to raise money for the poor kids and adults in Haiti. 310,000 people died and 630,000 people were seriously injured. There were kids, adults, and animals that died. It was all over the news, and, every day they interviewed people that live in Haiti and how they feel during the earthquake and after it.

I interviewed Webster students about their thoughts regarding Haiti’s earthquake. Here is what they had to say:

Q: How do you feel about the earthquake?
A: Joselynn, a seventh grader, said that she feels bad because a lot of people died.

Q: What would you like to do to help?
A: Naila a seventh grader said that she said that she would like to donate money to them. She ended up donating $10.

Q: What do you think about the earthquake in Haiti?
A: Valeria a seventh grader says that it was really big and so sad because poor little kids died.

Q: What do you think about our fund raiser at Webster?
A: Jocelynn, a sixth grader, said that she thinks it’s cool because Haiti fundraising is not just on T.V but at school. It made it more real for her.

Q: How would you feel if you had family members that live in Haiti?
A: Henry, a sixth grader, said that he would be sad because his relatives could have died and he would not have been able to help them

Daniel Webster Middle School raised a total of $589.00 for Haiti. The classes that raised the most money by grade level is Ms. Choi (6th grade), Mr. Mandl (7th grade), and Mrs. Witham (8th grade). Great job, everybody!
