Janet S., Brennen Elementary’s Phys. Ed. teacher wrote us on Friday and said…<\/p>\n
We concluded the water project today at our annual Field day! \u00a0It went over great!!\u00a0 Many of the children and their families participated.<\/p>\n
Our field day theme was “Around the World”…and we integrated The Water Project into it. \u00a0The whole school even agreed to forgo popsicles at field day and have the PTO send the money instead to the project!! \u00a0Without the PTO adding in what ever they are going to do….we have a little over $1,500.00.<\/p>\n
Thanks for your help. \u00a0We had parents thanking us for doing this. \u00a0It really was cool!! \u00a0The kids want an African well….or 2 \ud83d\ude42 …is that possible?<\/p>\n
It will mean so much to them to see the well and to know who they have helped.<\/p>\n
Is it ever possible to correspond with the children?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The answers to Janet’s questions are YES!<\/p>\n
The Water Project will use 100% of these donations to build a well in Kenya, Africa at a school.\u00a0 We also encourage students to write letters or draw pictures that we’ll send over in August when our project partner travels to visit some of these schools!<\/p>\n
And…when the well is complete, we’ll be posting pictures and GPS coordinates right here, so everyone at Brennen Elementary can see the good they have done!<\/p>\n
