Students
at Nora AYS Collect "Caring Coins" The AYS program at Nora collected over $150 worth of “Caring Coins” to help a familydisplaced by Hurricane Katrina. An AYS board member met the family, now living in Indianapolis, and requested assistance from AYS staff. AYS administrative staff donated clothing for the family of four.
AYS-Nora Directors Fran VanMaaren and Jenny Diallo set up a large water jug in their program. Students were encouraged to deposit coins into the jug to aid the family. The students rolled the coins and the directors traded the coins for grocery gift cards. Marsh also donated a turkey for the family when they heard what the AYS students had accomplished.
Along with the turkey and gift cards, the family will receive cards and pictures made by the students. One student wrote, “Every single kind-hearted kid from AYS donated it (the money)… I hope it was enough to buy you a new house. If not, I sure hope it at least helps you.” Posted: 11/22/05 Next: AYS Staff Compete in "Ease on Down" Challenge >>
