Press Release Summary = Delphi Academy of San Diego students decided to help victims
of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita by taking matters into their own hands and creating a
school-wide bake sale that raised hundreds of dollars.
Press Release Body = At Delphi Academy of San Diego, located in La Jolla, CA, the
students decided to take matters into their own hands and spent the day baking,
promoting and selling cookies to raise funds for children affected by Hurricane
Katrina.
Delphi Academy students raised hundreds of dollars at the bake sale and used the
funds to purchase and send backpacks and school supplies to children affected by
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
“All their notebooks got washed away and the kids were sitting there with nothing so
we wanted to help them,” Shaela, a 4th grader, said.
Another Delphi Academy 4th grader, Ariane, had this to say, “Our Moral Code class
taught us about us treating others the way you would want to be treated, and I would
want someone to help me if that happened to me!”
Ariane’s favorite part was “when we found out that we had made $200 and we went
shopping to fill up the backpacks for the Katrina fund.”
Once the students had collected up all of the supplies, a generous donation from a
Delphi Academy grandfather paid for all of the shipping to send the backpacks and
supplies to those in need.
