Mad Week 2009

Students went to assemblies on October 6 and 13 to view a presentation on the results of MAD Week 2008 and to learn about our students' trip to Sierra Leone this summer. To view this presentation, click here.

 Mad Week 2008

April 28 - May 3

Plans for Mad Week 2008  

We will work with an organization called Operation Classroom to build the Heritage School of Kabala.

WHAT	Raising $17,500 to pay for half of a new school in Sierra Leone. With the possibility of internet access at this school, the Heritage School of Kabala could become our "sister school," and students here could communicate directly with students there.
WHEN	Monday, April 28 - Saturday, May 3
WHERE	Kabala, Sierra Leone (where the literacy rate is less than 33%)
WHY	To provide education for people living lives of subsistence with no real hope for a brighter future. Because education is the key to strengthening societies and individuals. To MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the world!
HOW	By Heritage community involvement. We need you to donate. Contribute by coming to the events, giving money to your advisory teacher, or by making a check out to Operation Classroom and bringing it to the front office of Heritage High School.
