Press Release Summary = Members of The Delphian School Student Council raise money
for the Hurricane Katrina victims

Press Release Body = Upon finding out about Hurricane Katrina, students of The
Delphian School were eager to contribute. Members of the Student Council started
raising money through bake sales, presentations to students, signs and donations.
The Delphian School students understood the impact of the situation, and they had
great concern for the victims. The students raised over $1,100, which they donated
to Habitat for Humanity to help their Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

During the time of the hurricanes, the students took extra time in current events
classes to talk about both the financial and economic impact of the hurricanes. The
students realized how the hurricanes were affecting the United States and knew they
needed to do something about it. They also had many gains themselves from helping
out. "I really enjoyed giving my money to a cause that was affecting the world
today. I feel I made an impact and helped someone in need," said seventeen-year-old
Jessica Benk.

Eighteen-year-old Chelsea Melchior had a similar experience while helping out. "I
could see that help was really needed in New Orleans. I was glad I could do
something to make a difference."

The Delphian School has various fundraisers throughout the year. These fundraisers
give students a chance to help out in the community and the world around them.

The Delphian School is an independent, co-educational day and boarding school
offering college preparatory, English-as-a-Second-Language and summer programs for
elementary through high school students. The Delphian School is licensed to use
