C4 was a special project that Harkins participated in to help Haitian student Carlos rebuild a community classroom. HMS students donated books, supplies and money to help the project. The books have arrived in Haiti and are housed in a prefab building which is now the library for several orphanages in Port-au-Prince. The library serves 47 children from babies to 22 years old, many with disabilities.
Our beloved Carlos is the librarian and featured in the photo. Thanks to all those who donated to this worthy cause. We have made a difference!

Thanks to Mrs Gilks and the WEB Leaders for organizing this great event!
A message about Survivor TOMORROW from Mrs Gilks:
"Students are asked to be dressed to get wet at some of the water events. Please tell them to bring a change of clothes or if they wear a swim suit it must be underneath clothing and no WHITE t-shirts! Banner paper will be delivered to you on Tuesday morning at 8:30 with your torch. Please have students bring in any paint, brushes, markers etc... for Tuesday. Good luck to everyone and thank you for your patience, flexibility, and cooperation on this crazy day!"Mrs. K. Gilks
Will you survive? :)
