PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (CNN) -- Rescue workers in Haiti continued sifting through piles of rubble for signs of life Saturday as night fell over the grim scene where a school collapsed Friday.

As many as 700 children were inside when College La Promesse Evangelique in Petionville, near the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, collapsed about 10 a.m. ET Friday, officials said.

Two uninjured children were pulled from the rubble Saturday and reunited with their families, said Rob Drouen, spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Their rescue came hours after the death toll from the collapse climbed to 82 with the discovery of 21 bodies in a classroom, President Rene Preval said, according to Clarens Renois of the Haitian Press Network.
