Support for Haiti ribbons designed by students

Lehigh Senior High School Center for the Arts seniors Regina Sanchez and Erika Martinez designed and created 2,000 ribbons for all students and staff to wear to show their support for Haiti during the recent earthquake.

Each ribbon was created using the colors of Haiti, blue and red, and has a small Haitian flag attached to the front. They passed them out during every lunch shift to ensure every student received one. Students and staff will be wearing them

daily to show their support, school officials said.
