Immaculate Conception Junior High School, OH students planned a Walk for Water to raise money to help two schools in Ghana that are in need of clean water. The students read the book “A Long Walk to Water” and learned a lot about the importance of having clean drinking water.

“Students have spread the word about the upcoming Walk for Water, and pledges are coming in!!!  Students and Staff are very excited about the upcoming Walk for Water event on October 12th.  Students are working on a design challenge to create a mechanism to help them carry 1 gallon of water.  They can also work with a group as long as the final product helps all members carry at least one gallon per person.  Thank you families and friends for supporting this wonderful cause.”

“We are excited to Walk this Thursday.  Students are preparing by designing a mechanism to help them carry a gallon of water. Thank you to all of the family and friends of Immaculate Conception School and parish that have supported this project so far. We are excited to be able to help these Communities in Ghana gain access to water. Last week, several of the 8th-grade students visited PK-6 classrooms to share the reason why we are doing a Walk for Water.”

“What a fantastic Walk we had today! Students walked through the Clintonville neighborhood each carrying a gallon of water.  They were so excited to participate. Lots of cheering, singing, and motivated students out there making a difference. Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to help out today. This was a very successful event!”
