Students at Halifax County High School recently collected donations for the American Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund during a drive sponsored by the SCA. On Friday afternoon SCA officers and representatives, along with members of the student body, presented a check to Ginger Weaver, director of the Halifax/Charlotte County chapter of the American Red Cross. The funds will provide much-needed relief for the people living in the poor country of Haiti that was hit by an earthquake on Jan. 12.
