Water for Life

Tanner's preschool took part in an interesting fundraising project that I failed to mention during the school year.  It was called "Water for Life" & really had an impact on Tanner. The kids watched a video & had a visit from a guy who talked to them about some tough circumstances in Africa. Tanner came home telling me ALL about what they learned - that many families don't have clean water & there aren't many wells available. His teacher sent home a water bottle & letter detailing the project.  Each child was supposed to drink the water, then collect change in the empty bottle & return it to school the next week. All of the money would go toward digging wells & providing clean water for those less fortunate families.

Tanner did his fundraising at our house - he went from bedroom to bedroom asking for change. He was so thrilled to take part in this project. We all gave him money to fill up his water bottle & he happily returned it to school the next week! For their hard work & awesome fundraising, students were given a sno-cone party!!
Good job by my little philanthropist!!
