Following the earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, Washburn junior, Jenny O., asked her Eng- lish teacher, Ms. Hollerich, what Washburn was going to do to help. Prompted by Jenny’s question, Ms. Hollerich put a donation jar in her room and her students began to fill it. Throughout the school, other students and teachers had the same idea. Ms. Hutchison and her art students spon- sored a change war, and Ms. Gustafson and her French students visited other classrooms with col- lection envelopes. Within a few weeks, Washburn students and teachers raised an impressive $2,097.85 for the American Red Cross.
