7/8 Water Challenge

What’s going on?
While reading A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park, the 7th and 8th graders have decided that they can help people in South Sudan with limited access to clean water by raising money to support the Water for South Sudan organization and their efforts to build wells.

How can I help?
An easy way for you to help is to divert the money you might spend on beverages to donate to this fundraiser. Commit to drinking only tap water from now until October 4, keep track of the money you would have spent on soda, coffee, juice, etc., and donate it instead.

How do I donate?
There are several ways you can donate the money you collect during the water challenge:
• Visit bit.ly/brooklinwater and contribute online.
• Come to family movie night! The 7/8 class is hosting a viewing of “Finding Nemo” on October 4, and donations will be collected there.
• Send cash or check (written to “Water for South Sudan”) to school.

How can I learn more?
• The 7/8 class will be displaying their work on what they learned about the global water crisis at the movie night on 10/4.
• Visit teaghanandsayla.wixsite.com/brooklinwaterproject, which is a website made by 7/8 students.
• Visit waterforsouthsudan.org.
• Ask a Brooklin 7th or 8th grader!

Warm Clothes Swap

Start looking through your kids outgrown gently used winter gear to see what you need and what you can donate. Save your kids clothes that they have grown out of and bring them into school if they are clean and not ripped. Soon there will be a rack of clean, warm clothes for you to go through. Leave what you can and take what you need.
