4th Grade has been studying how the availability of clean water affects people's
Ms Haynes,
I just wanted to share this picture and story with you. Ms Gray taught the
students this past week about families in Honduras who didn't have clean
water; they kids had to do a project describing how their lives would be
different if they had to walk two miles to get clean water and had to
figure out how their family would handle it.
After learning about this the kids, on their own, decided they wanted to
raise money to send to Honduras for clean water. They, again without any
help from parents, decided to sell lemonaid and sno cones. They
determined who would bring what, how much to charge, and when they would do
this. All came home very excited on Thursday and us parents realizing
they were very serious helped them pull this together on Friday.
They raised over $75 in just a few hours. According to Ms Gray, $25 gives
a person clean water for life. Because of their efforts they gave 3 people
clean water for life!
I just wanted to share this with you, one because I'm proud of them. Two,
and most importantly, Ms Gray not only educated these kids but she also
inspired them. Ask any of them and they can tell you exactly what is
happening in Honduras, about why not having clean water is bad, and how
lucky they are. IB education does work and will help create some amazing
kids!
Thanks
Julie
