Each year, the Fifth graders at Bonny Slope donate a gift as they transition to Middle School. For the first few years, the gift has stayed on site. In the past few years, students and parents have clung to the idea of "taking action" and have instead donated a gift that has gone beyond our school walls.
In keeping with their Exhibition theme, and recognizing important issues around our world, our students and parents have chosen to partner with The Water Project. This morning, someone from The Water Project talked to Fifth grade students about the organization and how their donation will help. The students asked great questions and were thrilled about the opportunity to support the building of a well for a school yard in Africa that has no access to clean water.
During the upcoming months, our families will be able to track and follow the progress of the well as soon as the building begins. What a perfect example of taking action and making our world a better place!
