In case you didn’t know, our choir teacher Mary Schallert is the aunt of\u00c2\u00a0two very brave young people that attended Steller.\u00c2\u00a0 Her niece and nephew,\u00c2\u00a0both of whom were Steller students, were in Haiti when the earthquake hit. Julian Brelsford was in a small village south of Port Au Prince doing relief\u00c2\u00a0work, and he brought Christa Brelsford who is currently working on her PhD\u00c2\u00a0in engineering to have a look at the infrastructure. \u00c2\u00a0The village and the country gets pummeled every time a hurricane blows\u00c2\u00a0through. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Christa left Steller at the age of 16 to go straight in to college,\u00c2\u00a0and Julian did the same. \u00c2\u00a0She sort of jokes about being a high school drop\u00c2\u00a0out with a PhD. Julian is still in Haiti right now with broken toes. \u00c2\u00a0Christa’s\u00c2\u00a0leg was crushed under one of those buildings she was looking at, she will\u00c2\u00a0lose her foot but she is alive and was medi-vaced to Miami. \u00c2\u00a0T\u00e2\u20ac\u2122is handy to\u00c2\u00a0be American. \u00c2\u00a0These are kids to be proud of, and they are connected to the our school.<\/p>\n
There is a big story on Christa in A.D.N and a video link to an interview Christa\u00c2\u00a0did on \u00c2\u00a0CBS. The story begins at the link below.<\/p>\n
