 This week's Kid Of The Week is...9 year-old Jacob Leavenworth of Schenectady. Jacob is a 4^th grade student at Paige Elementary in Schenectady. He saw on the news the devastation of the Earthquake in Haiti. He knew he wanted to do something to help. On his own, he scheduled an appointment with the principal and asked if he organize a food drive. He came up with a plan and made the announcement to the entire school about the need to help and how we could make a difference.  Everyday for 2 weeks he faithfully collected donations and organized the process of sending them to a collection center. Jacob is a very kind hearted, generous young man. We are very proud of him for seeing a need and trying to make a difference, and help others.
