Tiana Leatiota, Elyssa Metcalf and Kathryn Orbino present a check to the Red Cross. 

Three fourth grade students from Hillcrest Elementary School asked their ASB teacher if they could have a fundraiser through ASB to raise money for the families of the Japanese disaster.

Darlene Moe, the ASB Advisor, had them write down their plan as to how these funds would be raised.
The students implemented a week long penny drive by putting a piggy bank in every classroom.

The three students, Tiana Leatiota, Elyssa Metcalfe, and Kathryn Orbino made a difference by a simple suggestion and idea.
On April 1, 2011 the school held an assembly celebrating our Seat of Honor students for Cooperation.
The school  raised over $525 to help those in Japan.
