Harvey School News

The Japanese Culture Club raised $336 in their two-day onigiri sale to donate to the Hiroshima chapter of the Red Cross to help victims of the July flooding in Hiroshima prefecture. Harvey students and their Japanese language teachers have a personal connection to this area as it is the location of one of Harvey's sister schools in Japan, and where students visited this past summer.

Onigiri is a Japanese "rice ball" which contains either just rice or rice and fish like salmon. Club members sold onigiri during lunch time, treating their fellow students to a little taste of Japanese culture. The Club also posted more than 150 pictures of students enjoying onigiri to the Onigiri Action program's website and in doing so, the program's corporate sponsor, through the non-profit Table for Two, donated more than 750 hot lunches to children in need in East Africa and Southeast Africa.

The Club extended their thanks to the Harvey community for their wonderful support of this important initiative.
