United We Stand
|
Congressman Henry J. Hyde visits Peacock. The congressman recieved a check for over $6000 collected for the 9/11 Twin Towers Fund. Money was raised through the sale of the district-wide "United We Stand" CD project. |
Ultimately, the idea of a creating and selling a CD, which was inspired by a primary school student, was decided upon based on its ease to include each of the almost 850 district students. The funds raised by the selling of these CD's will be donated to relief efforts.
The CD, "United We Stand", will feature patriotic songs performed by each grade level (preschool through eighth grade), as well as original pieces of poetry and prose created by students in the weeks following September 11.
Ordering Information
"United We Stand" will be available for purchase in early December, at a cost of $10, plus applicable shipping charges. As this is a charitable project, if you wish to make a larger donation please feel free to do so. A receipt will be sent with each purchase. Use the link below to access an online order form you can print:
Due to generous donations from the District 10 School Board, IEPTO, and Peacock PTO, production costs of the CD have been covered. Thus, 100% of the revenue generated from sales will be donated to one or more funds providing disaster relief to victims of the September 11 attacks.
We will be creating 1500 CD's. After filling orders from families in our school district, we will begin filling orders obtained through this web site. Our hope is to fill all orders in time for the winter holidays. Once we sell the original quantity of 1500 CD’s, it is unlikely that we will produce more; therefore, orders obtained through the web site will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
