MIDLAND, TEXAS - Rusk Elementary School third-grade teacher Katie Hinshaw had just finished teaching a science unit on forces that change a land -- such as earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes -- when disaster struck in Haiti.
Studying earthquakes at the time, Hinshaw's students got interested in what was happening on the Caribbean island nation. That got Rusk's 415 kindergarten through sixth-grade students into the spirit. They raised $1,596 and it was decided the funds would go toward water filters.
Counselor Mary Burrichter suggested the filters and contacted the Texas Baptist Men, who purchased the filters, made the delivery and sent back photos.
