Schools are raising money to help with Haiti relief efforts:

Maryland's Department of Education is organizing a fundraising drive for Haiti through the state's 1,600 schools, and all money will be donated to the Haiti Relief and Development Fund of the American Red Cross. In Pittsburgh, schools also are raising money to give to the Red Cross and collecting supplies. One class will give up a Valentine's Day party and spend the money on Haiti relief efforts instead, and the basketball team at one school is accepting donations for Haiti in lieu of ticket sales.
