Lovejoy High School’s principal Mike Goddard arrived in Haiti Sunday morning April 25^th to deliver to orphanages some of the food that was packaged by the high schoolers during the Big Event on Friday, April 23^rd.  Utilizing 30-minute shifts during the Big Event, all members of the high school student body and teachers took their turn in assisting the packaging of over 115,000 meals!  A portion of these meals will stay in our local community, benefiting Allen Community Outreach, the Samaritan Inn, and the Allen Food Pantry.  The entire student body focused on the Graduate Profile, including “Working for Justice in the Community.” Stations were set up throughout the high school where the students talked about what it would be like to have to go “a day without shoes,” saw a Senior Project presentation on Three Cups of Tea’s gender equality issue, wrote letters to USA soldiers, made coloring books for orphans in Haiti and patients at Scottish Rite Hospital, and wrote cards of encouragement—in French!—to orphans in Haiti.  Way to go, Lovejoy high schoolers!!
