The Early Act Club at Kuser School partnered with the Hamilton Rotarians to raise money for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

On Dec. 4, students and staff walked to show their support for the people of the Philippines. Many of the students made flags to hold during the walk.

Students donated $1 and staff members donated $5 each toward Early Act’s goal of $1,000. The Rotarians also made a donation.

Funds are set to used to purchase a shelter box, which provides supplies and shelter to a family.

Early Act students will be learning about shelter boxes and how they can help people during disasters as they continue to raise money for this cause.
