Student Announcements for Wednesday, April 20th

Good morning,


You may feel quite removed from the events in Japan and Ecuador but every other year 20 Carrboro High students travel to Bahia de Caraquez in Ecuador to work on a reforestation project.  These students know of the generosity we receive when in their city.  Well now Bahia could use our help.  They need clean water and emergency supplies to make it through this difficult time.  You can donate directly to the relief effort being coordinated by GSE in Bahia by going to Mr. Klakovich's website or bring cash donations to room D214.  Thank you.
