Another natural disaster has hit close to home for many of Broward County Public Schools students, staff and BECON-TV. We want to extend our thoughts and condolences to the citizens of Haiti, who yesterday suffered an earthquake of unprecedented proportion. We have a very large Haitian student population in our schools and would like to express our heartfelt compassion and concern to all who have and may be impacted by the earthquake disaster. As a BECON-TV family, we are all touched and affected. We are, obviously, concerned about and evaluating the most effective and efficient way to support the rescue and recovery efforts in Haiti.
With the support of our School Board and all of Team Broward, BECON-TV stands ready to assist the people of Haiti. We are calling on your generous support.
