Greetings Germantown Family,  

Too often we read and hear about pain, violence, and tragedy in the news. Even in the past week, we have heard about the devastation that has occurred in Haiti regarding the massive earthquake that has left thousands dead and more than 75,000 homeless. Rarely do we get an opportunity to do something positive that creates a lasting impact for our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. Well, now is the time when we, Germantown High School, can make a difference. Local 24 News reported that Dwayne Jones, a local businessman and missionary, has committed to sending 100 tents to provide shelter to the homeless Haitians. In support of his efforts, we have decided to join the cause. Let’s GO RED, Germantown. Let’s start with Giving Back and helping our fellow man. Let’s get Organized and donate to this worthy cause. Below is the link to the Go Fund Me page for the tents for Haiti. Mr. Jones listed Germantown High School as one of the supporters of this campaign. We would like for everyone, including students and parents, to get involved. If you donate to the Go Fund Me page, please indicate in the comment section that you are donating on behalf of Germantown High School.  News reporter Jeni Diprizio was so excited to hear about our involvement that she wants to do a follow-up story about us.  

With all the negative publicity, it would be nice to show that Germantown High School cares because we really do! You are an awesome group of leaders. It’s always a pleasure working alongside such an amazing and caring group of people.   

If you prefer to give a monetary donation, use the following Go Fund Me link:

If you list your name, place GHS beside it. We would like to know how many GHS supporters we have participating. All proceeds will go directly to the purchase and shipment of the tents and food supplies. 

If you have a new or slightly used tent and you would like to donate it, please deliver the tent to the following address:  

The New Olivet Baptist Church  

Attn: Haiti 2021  

10000 Woodland Hills  

Cordova, TN 38018
