The SPIN Club will be running one final campaign of the year with "WE Schools". We will be doing a "Water Walk" and collecting pledges. Each Grade 5 student has been invited to participate in a 4km walk to carry a 4 litre milk jug to the pits (off of Bird's Hill Road). After filling the jugs with water, we will walk back to BHS.
Mrs. Tresoor and I hope that this activity will show that for some people, getting water isn't as simple as just turning on a tap! Girls in some countries walk 6km every day to fetch water and are unable to attend school because of this chore!
If you'd like to join us for the walk at 2:30 on Friday, June 2, please contact me at kwasney@retsd.mb.ca.
Thanks for your support!
