Help for Haiti: A Reading by 7th Graders from Helen C. Peirce Elementary School

When the tragic January 2010 earthquake struck Haiti, the images of the disaster profoundly affected the 7th grade students of Helen C. Peirce Elementary School's Room 301. While working in collaboration with Free Street Theater and its Act/Write residency program, the students were asked to choose a topic they wanted to explore through writing. The students chose to write about the Haitian crisis and asked if they could do a fundraiser to help. Tonight we are proud to present the creative visions and voices of Room 301 for a special reading and fundraiser, benefitting continued recovery efforts in Haiti.
