Today was fantastic! Your child participated in our Walk for Water day. They learned a little about how we can help others and what some amazing people have and are doing to change the world for the better. Our school and school community raised over 25 000$ for Free the Children, http://www.freethechildren.com/. Your child is coming home with a hand-made beaded necklace/braclet that was made by African women, and from which, the proceeds go to provide clean water for one African for one year!!! Thanks to the anonymous donor of this special gift! Some of the kids are coming home with one of the 3 milk jugs full of water with which we walked. He/She should be able to let you know that it isn't to be wasted. Hopefully our kids have gained an appreciation for the value of water and the value of helping others.

This gentleman above is Spencer West. If you are interested, read about him and his accomplishments on the above website. Below, we are about to start our walk with and for water!
