Prospect's 5th grade students and EcoPanthers are working on a service learning project, A Wish for a Well. 5th graders were inspired to take action in the fight against the water crisis in South Sudan after reading the Global Read Aloud book, A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park.
This project supports
the charity
Water for South Sudan through
the Iron Giraffe Challenge.The 2018 Iron Giraffe Challenge calls on schools to each raise a minimum of $1,000, with a goal to raise $150,000 total. The IGC has grown every year, so we are confident that you can help us reach, or even surpass, this goal. All participating schools will be recognized on the WFSS website, and all who complete the challenge will receive a WFSS poster and be entered in a drawing to win different prizes, including Skype calls with Linda Sue Park.
Here is a link to Prospect's donation page, created by Becky Koziel, which will inform you about the goal of our project. Through this page, families are given the opportunity to spread awareness and make online donations. In the interest of student safety, please do not include children's first names on the donor line if you are planning on donating. For example, we would prefer "The Smith Family" to "Jane Smith" if Jane is a Prospect Student. We are accepting cash donations at school as well.
Additionally, our students are busy making informational brochures that will eventually come home to be shared with family, friends, businesses, etc. We are hopeful the students will be ready to share these before Winter Break. Feel free to share the brochures and the link below on social media to help spread awareness and help us to reach our goal.
Thank you so much for supporting this cause!
