Can you hear that? The seventh grade is all a buzz of excitement for our Capstone Project! They are busy polishing their character diaries... finishing their art work... formatting their presentations... perfecting their dance moves... all for the idea of helping the people of Southern Sudan.
Change for South Sudan is our fundraiser kickoff. We will be raising as much as we can to possibly build a well for a village in South Sudan.
The inspiration for this comes from our reading the book A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. In the book, the main character Salva Dut has to survive the brutal Sudanese Civil War. He does and manages to make it to the USA - where he starts an organization to build wells in Sudan.
Our dream goal - to raise the $15,000 to sponsor the building of a well! Our February event will kickoff that fundraiser.
Students will be creating works of art with the help of Ms. Martin. Some students will be performing a dance number with the help of Ms. Jessalyn and Ms. Lauren. Other students from Mr. O'Brien's class will be reading original writing. The entire seventh grade wants to thank Mr. Ross, Mr. A, Ms. Gartenberg, Ms. Sanchez and most of all Ms. O'Connor for making it all happen.
We hope you have a great time at our event, we look forward to seeing you there!
Also, don't forget, VACATION is Feb. 16 to the 25th! Have a great week!
