The idea originally came from two of Pearce's students, Cornie McFarlane and Emily Smiàth. "I heard about the hurricane and saw pictures," says McFar- lane. I thought that maybe . we could do something" The next day the two girls asked their teacher if they could discuss their idea with classmates before recess. They presented their idea, and received a good response from the class. I thought of the idea of raising money," says Smith. Unfor- tunately, as 'the students found out from their principal, they weren't allowed to raise funds. So they had te corne up with something else. They decided upon a plan so that every student had a part to play in some way. McFarlane phoned the Red Cross to find out what was needed and the students broadcasted announce- ments over the public address ;,ystem to advertise.- They also made up posters te, get their urgent message across. "Vie went over it every morning to organize," says Pea- rce. SAnother student, Patrick HFli, feit a more personal concern as he lived in Jamaica for two years.
