Students in the Rainier View Elementary school student council, along with Margo Hightower and school principal Kent Cross, pose with the shoes they have collected to send to Haiti, in honor of Margo's niece Molly, who died while working at an orphanage in Haiti, during the earthquake.
The Rainier View Elementary student council has only been around a few weeks, but its first mission was to help Molly's Mission — and they succeeded with flying colors.
