The Stony Plain Reporter in the last month has written two excellent articles regarding the compassion and generosity of students in Parkland County assisting in the Japanese relief effort.
The first article:
Demonstrates the perseverance of over 30 students who hosted a wake-a-thon at Greystone Centennial Middle School, which raised over $4,500 for the Red Cross Japanese Relief Fund.
The second article:
Is another initiative starting from High Park School, and extending to: Duffield School, Parkland Village School, The Stony Plain Connection for Learning, Central Elementary School in Whitecourt, and Ecole St. Paul's in Fort McMurray, were selling Japanese inspired headbands.
Other Albertan Schools which have helped raise money for the Relief effort:
Vermillion and Clandonald
Sherwood Park

Red Deer
Helping Japan - Pray and Give
With so many problems that affect us locally it is often hard to be help others. The Stony Plain Alliance Church, however, has indicated two ways you can help:
"PRAY – The needs are overwhelming. Where do you start? “How to Pray When Disaster Strikes” [and]
GIVE – There are many organizations that will be helping in the relief effort. Who can you trust? Who will use the money for its intended purpose? There are many reputable organizations that will be helping in the relief effort, including our own denomination."
