Collecting Change for Change

BES Alumni shared with students grade K-4 about their recent mission trip to Haiti and the effects of the earthquake. Students then discovered how they can help make a difference in the lives of children in Haiti by "Collecting Change for Change." For 2 weeks students will bring in loose change to support the country as a community. All proceeds will directly benefit the people of Haiti.
