Water for South Sudan
After reading the book, “A Long Walk To Water,” Mrs. Dudek's 7th grade ELA students participated in the Water for South Sudan project. The book chronicles the many challenges faced by Nya, a young girl in South Sudan who walked 16 miles everyday for water. The water they drink in South Sudan is muddy and very contaminated water. The students walked the track with weights to have a better understanding of what it was like to walk the distance carrying the water.
(L-R): Kyle Rounds and Augustino Ciraolo participated in the Water for South Sudan walk.
