Heart Houses Service Project Update

10/28/2013

Do you remember our 1st grade lead art service project last year? Students made and sold Heart Houses to raise money for Super Storm Sandy victims. We raised about $1300 and give it to St. Rose's School in New Jersey. Their art room , in the building's basement, was completely submerged with muddy fish-filled water. Everything was ruined.
We created a documentary movie about the process of creating the heart houses narrated by 1st graders. The movie was entered into the NextVista.org service via video student contest became a finalist (view certificate). NextVista.org awarded all finalists a donation to our charity of $100. However they just contacted me to say that they enjoyed the movie so much that they decided to make a $200 donation on our behalf to St. Rose's School. Congratulations students for making a difference through your beautiful art. View the movie below. View my Heart House page here. The houses are no longer for sale. View the post about our donation, view our heart houses, and more.
