CLEAN WATER FUNDRAISER

Operation Cranston: Clean Water

Students in Ms. Brett, Ms. Jackson, Ms.Patton/Mrs. Vandertoorn’s grade three classes have been inspired through their work in Social Studies this year.  After learning about water scarcity they would like to raise money to help build a well in a country that does not access to safe water.  They have set an ambitious goal of $3000 which would provide clean water for at least 100 people.  Donations will go to Charity:Water.  To raise money they are planning the following fundraisers:

Bottle Drive – a container will be in the school parking lot from June 4-8 and you may drop off bottles during school hours.
Yard Sale/Bake Sale/Art Sale/Lemonade Stand – students will be selling used toys and books, fresh baked goods, lemonade, popcorn, and student-made art from 11:15 – 12:15 on Friday, June 8, on the compound.
Water Walk – students will be carrying jugs of water around the field on Friday, June 8, in the morning, and will be looking for pledges from friends and family.

If you would like to support our students, donations can be made in five ways.
1.  Cash donations to the donation jar in the office.
2. Donate online at https://my.charitywater.org/cranston-kids/operation-cranston-clean-water.  Please feel free to share this link on social media!
3. Shop at our fundraiser on June 8.
4. Sponsor a grade 3 in the water walk.
5. Bring your bottles to the school from June 4-8.

Happy Friday families & friends, The highlight of the week for the students was the dance residency, complete with class recital, on Friday.  Over the course of the week they learned about Bollywood, Latin and Hip Hop dance.  It was great to see how excited all of the students were when they went to gym each day for dance and when they came back as well, after learning some new dance moves.  Well done grade 1s - your dance performance was amazing! Our investigation with measurement continued, with students comparing which "filled" containers hold more water and which ones hold less.  Ask your child what differences they discovered in investigating capacity this week.  Comparing masses was really fun and exciting for the students as well.  They worked in pairs to find things in the classroom that were lighter and heavier than one of their books from their reading tub.  The grade 1s were in awe with seeing and the balance scales to compare and learn about masses.  T he
