IT"S ALIVE!!! OUR NEW WATER WIKI is ALIVE!

The "kIck-off" date on which staff will present the "H2O for Life" project to students is November 3. On that day and possibly Nov. 5 as well, each division will present the concept of water as a precious resource and introduce the service learning project. As a core committee, we agreed that each division would accomplish this in any way it wanted. Any ideas to share? Will M.S. and Jr. High involve children presenting the project? Can it be done at your weekly assemblies? We have several "H2O for Life" DVD's that can be used. -Roanne

Since our walk fell on the schoolwide kick-off day for H2O FOR LIFE, we took time to remember the children of Gandini Primary School in Kenya who walk each day to an open pond 2 miles away to collect water for their school. We took turns carrying a 1-gallon jug of fresh drinking water for our outing. We were willing and energetic, and we found our jug HEAVY! The Kenyan children often carry vessels that are much heavier! We are happy that Summit is going to help remove this chore from their daily school life by sponsoring a pipeline that will bring clean water right to their school! Deanna C. Moss
 * On Nov. 3, the JrK** enjoyed their annual Fall Walk to Reynolda Gardens.
