HAITI

Lehigh Senior High School Center for the Arts seniors Regina Sanchez and Erika Martinez designed and created 2000 ribbons for all students and staff to wear to show their support for Haiti during this tragic time. Each ribbon was created using the colors of Haiti, blue and red, and has a small Haitian flag attached to the front. They passed them out during every lunch shift to ensure every student received one. Students and staff will be wearing them daily to show their support.
