About Us

We are a newly formed organization founded by Mr.Nietzel's 6th grade class at West Middle School. We saw the damage and devastation that occurred from the earthquake in Haiti and we decided we wanted to help. We talked as a class and understood that while we might not be able assist the victims with our own hands, we could still help in other ways. We decided our best option was to raise money but the question remained... HOW!?! We decided that we could offer people the opportunity to donate for Haiti relief, and in return, give them a token of our appreciation. That is where our bracelet idea came from. The search was "on" for a company that could bring our ideas to life, and for a fair price :) Our classes all submitted designs for what the rubber bracelet should look like and we then voted on our favorite design (which happened to be a mix of a couple different designs!) The next step was to get the word out to the public, this task has been left completely up to us as students. Poster designs have been created to hang around town, (we also found someone to print them for free!), this blog was created, we now have a Twitter page to keep everyone up to date on our progress (http://twitter.com/MrNsHaitiCrew) and a YouTube video is in the works. We are so excited to start getting these bracelets out to the public, so if you would like to purchase one (or 100!) we are asking for a minimum donation of two dollars per-bracelet. If you live in Muscatine, you can stop by our school, West Middle School at 600 Kindler Ave. Muscatine, IA. 52761. If you live outside of Muscatine you can get in contact with us via the blog or twitter and we can work out a way to get you "hooked up." 100% of our profits are going to the American Red Cross which has guaranteed that all of our money raised will go directly to Haiti disaster relief programs. Please pass this link on. Join us in saying "I helped Haiti, I made a difference!" Thanks for your time, interest, and support

11:00 P.M. Update

The class is fired up, the arrival of the bracelets has really put this effort into high gear! We still have a lot of work to do, but my students are really stepping up to the challenge. We hope to have some picture posted tomorrow on this blog, so be looking for those. We are taking orders for bracelets now...Tweet, blog, or call the school at 563-263-0411 to place an order. If you wish to pay by check, you can make it out to West Middle School and write "Mr. N's Haiti Crew" down at the bottom. You can also make it out to the Red Cross, which is then tax-deductible :) I'm exhausted and pretty sure my punctuation was not up to par on this post, many apologies. buona notte ragazi! Thanks for all your support.
