5th Grade Walks for Water

After reading A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park, the 5th grade decided to raise money in order to build a well in South Sudan. In order to accomplish this, we set up our own "Walk for Water." Over Thanksgiving break, students went out and got pledges to sponsor them per mile. Today, using the Johns Hopkins' track, students, teachers and parents walked for 2 hours, most people walking/running between 5-12 miles! It was an incredible day and we celebrated with hot chocolate and snacks afterwards!

$5,000 builds one well in South Sudan. As of today, the 5th grade raised over $7,000 and we still have one week of fundraising left!! We are very excited and very grateful to all those who participated!!
