donations, photos, CLEANING

Yesterday I wrote about how my school is collecting money for Haiti. I also found out this morning that Haiti had an aftershock that was almost as bad as the original earth quake. It's terrible that Haiti has this to deal with, and a large part of me wishes I just up and go help, but I'm afraid that this is something I can't do. Yesterday I watched a video of Demi Lovato on YouTube when she accepts the Honorary Ambassador of Education award and she says "I just want to use what I can, and that's my voice". That's what I'm trying to do. If I can't physically be there to help, I want to do what I can by using my voice!

Our goal for our 4-home homeroom challenge was originally $1,400.00, which would be one dollar from every student. I'm happy to announce that at day 2 of CCI's 4-day homeroom challenge for Haiti (all proceeds going to the Red Cross), Collingwood Collegiate Institute has raise $1796.00 I believe the total was. I donated $10.00 today, and I felt amazing doing so! Not only is CCI doing the homeroom challenge, we're also collecting blanket for Haiti too. A couple of the teachers are also selling pizza after school (What teen doesn't want a slice of pizza for an after school snack?) at the bus loop I believe.

So, since I didn't post a photo with the "I got a new haircut" post, I thought I would post one.

Not the best photo most likely but I loooove it! The color looks SO natural and it's just... I love it!!

Also, yesterday I posted that I wrote "Letters To Mommy" for my final collection in one of my classes. If you were interested in reading it. Check out the Note "'Letter's to Mommy'-- Bobbie Jo" On Join The Fight's Facebook page.

Off to start the much needed room clean! It's a war zone. Trust me !
