After reading “Long Walk to Water” by Linda Sue Park, Martina D’Astolfo’s grade five class at Searingtown Elementary School in New York was inspired to make a difference. They had a weeklong event in which they created their own well, and developed daily dress code themes to encourage donations: “Nickels and Neon,” “Pennies and Pajamas,” “Denim and Dimes…” Together, the class raised $3,189.00 USD for clean water projects! We LOVE the creativity. Way to go, Searingtown!
