EWG – Filtering Water in Haiti

Posted: December 9, 2011

Students in Mr. Theriaullt and Ms Kings grade 6 classes at Eleanor Graham Middle School raised money recently through a unique language arts project that combined writing book reviews and creating bookmarks. The colourful bookmarks were sold at a crafts fair at Rexton Elementary School and funds raised were used to purchase a water filtration system for a family in Haiti. But their contribution to Haiti continued even after their objective was reached. This project is very consistent with a number of criteria that are considered essential to 21st Century Learning, not the least of which is Global Citizenship.  To see the full description of this project visit EWG and Water Filters for Haiti .
