HELPING HAITI

Dear Chester Upland Family,

There are moments in our lives when we are confronted with circumstances that are out of our human control. It is how we respond to our fellow man during these times that define us as individuals and as people who care about our fellow man.

Recently such a moment occurred when our brothers and sisters in Haiti experienced the worst disaster in the history of their country. The earthquake lasted for less than one minute – 60 seconds, but the pain and loss of family members, friends and the ability to conduct a day to day existence will exist for many years to come. At a time such as this, it is incumbent upon each of us to step forward and extend our support and assistance. I was especially proud that within 24 hours, the students of CUSD had approached their principals seeking ways to support the relief efforts for the victims of this disaster.

Please allow me to share with you our preliminary plans.

The administration has reached out to all of our Haitian students and their families, to offer our support and to identify ways that our school family can help them during this time.
Although this is a catastrophic event, it does create several teachable moments. Our Curriculum and Instruction team has prepared a packet of appropriate materials, which will be delivered to schools during the week of January 26, 2010 for integration into our curriculum. It is important that our students deepen their understanding of the Country of Haiti.
During the month of February each school will launch a fund drive to provide monetary support to the citizens of Haiti. Each school should create a team consisting of staff and students to plan and implement the campaign.
The EEB and central administration pledge to match funds raised by schools.

Additionally, as Superintendent, I pledge to work closely with our City and Faith Community to support a citywide relief effort. Please keep our brethren in Haiti in your thoughts and in your hearts.

Sincerely,

Gregory E. Thornton

Superintendent
