Behind the Scenes: Cooking for the Haitian Fundraiser
Local Private school leads Fundraiser to help-Haiti-heal!
Cornerstone Learning Community’s 4th, 5th and 8th grade classes have performed a huge fundraiser on Friday, January 29th, to help–Haiti–heal!
The 4th grade (with the help of some parents and their teacher, Anmerie Small) lead a big canned food drive and cookedthe fried plantains right before the event took place. “Our aim was to make them taste just like the one’s that get served at restaurants, and we did!” 4th grader Riley Bohnstengel stated. “I think that it was a great experience and now I know how to cook fried plantains!” Theo Scott said. “It was the taste of teamwork” Riley added. “first we got got whole, fresh plantains, then we stripped them and cut them in to bite sized pieces and then fried them. When that was finished, we got paper plates and squished them into a more “pancake” form, then some salt and they were off to the serving table!!!” 4th grader Thomas Einerson explained.
The 5th graders made the salad and made all the media to advertise for the event. “We made the salad using green beans, carrots, onions, parsley, pea’s, corn and then the dressing (which we made too)” 5th grader Peter Sass said. “Well it’s for a good cause and I feel like it’s Haiti’s gain, my gain because I enjoyed doing it and had fun, and I’m sure Haiti is going to like the $1,000 we raised for their recovery. So over all I think that it was fun, helpful, exiting, and it’s a great way to stay in shape!” 5th grader Jay Fillmore added. The 8th grade made the vegetarian and non-vegetarian rice and beans as the main coarse the day before, just like the 5th graders.
The fundraiser took place on the hill at 12:00 pm on Friday, January 29th at Cornerstone Learning Community. All of the raised money raised went to Red Cross and Doctors without Boarders. “We all went home thinking about what a big difference we had made and about the lives we saved” Zachary Jackson said…

Day One
“Wilson, get in dads car, its time to go”! I heard in a loud voice “Oh yippee” I thought glumly, I get to go to the beach and watch everyone else swim while I burn to death! Well I know that I have to go so there is no point in complaining anymore,at least I get to see my cousin who I haven’t seen in a couple years.
I get in to my dads car and then I realize, there is barley any space for my leg! (which hurts because I broke it like two weeks ago) I finally found a spot for my leg to go with out it hurting to bad “Oh that’s good”! “no, actually that’s more then bad because it’s uncomfortable and I’m going to be sitting like this for a couple more hours!!!
I Fall Asleep…
When I slowlly open my eyes I see that we are pulling in to a big house, I stretched my arms a little bit but when I try too unbuckle my seat belt/throat choker I heard a big BANG and I felt pain shooting up my leg, it had fallen off of were it was rested on.
When I finely got over it I saw my grandma walking over saying “hi” too everyone, it was really hot outside so I decided to go swimming, oh wait, I HAVE A CAST ON!!!
I decided to go inside, once I was in, I turned on the TV, “oh come on, the cable box is broken”!!! A couple minuets later I saw my Great Aunt that I haven’t seen sense I was a baby, so I play chess with her and loose, but then I remember that I haven’t taken my pain pills for my leg! So I quickly take them and while I do that my aunt decides to go swimming. Sooooooooooooooooooooo the rest of my day is pretty much just boring.
Day 2
Is pretty much the same as yesterday!
Day 3
I wake up on the 3rd morning and my leg falls off my bed, “OWWW”. Later it is time to go so I am happy
