With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Stuart Country Day Schools girls are preparing special valentines for their teachers and classmates as usual. This year, though, instead of enclosing a traditional candy treat, the girls are taping pocket change to their valentines in order to give their classmates an opportunity to make a donation to the Smile Train, a charitable organization that raises funds for children in developing countries who need cleft palate surgery.
Lower School girls at Stuart Country Day School have been collecting change for the Smile Train since last fall. Each cleft palate surgery costs $250. To date, they have raised over $460.
Parent Beth Enck, who coordinates Stuart’s outreach program and helps to identify worthwhile causes, noted that Smile Train (see www.smiletrain.org/site/) gives 100 per cent of the funds raised directly to the children who need treatment.
