We recently engaged in a fundraising day to raise funds for charity. We chose H2O for Life and raised money selling homemade cookies around our local neighbourhood.

Springville Junior High School

An important part of the visual arts is communicating important things. This year as part of the curriculum I wanted to incorporate projects that would engage the students into making positive changes in the world with their art work. Right now, the number one thing we could do that would make a huge difference is getting more people access to clean water. Looking to our own world the atmosphere and ocean are warming through the use of fossil fuels, nitrous oxides, deforestation and fertilizers, pollution acidity in our oceans that are releasing sky rocketing amounts green house gases. This climate crises is unprecedented in it’s scale and complexity and I feel compelled to find ways to help. In the last few years our endangered species has tripled and clean water is the number one killer of people and animals. In the next few years half of our animal species will be wiped out.

Every day, one billion people make a three-hour journey to gather water! There is a water crisis throughout the world that is creating economic, social, educational and, worst of all, life-threatening conditions. We can help change that statistic.

STARS Alternative High School

We are a small high school located in cozy Central New York. As part of the global community, we feel the burning desire to help those Earthlings who are in need. This year we're focusing on bringing awareness to (and easing) water issues around the world.

Stateside Elementary

We would like to help those in need. We find it important to pay it forward to make our world a better place for all.

St. Barnabas School WELLness Project

Our school has been fundraising each year to bring clean water to countries in need. We started by raising money for Lifestraw Water filters in 2005. Subsequent years brought the opportunity to raise funds to build solar wells in southern Nigeria for the Ozioma Hope for Wellness Corp (non-profit) and Missionary Teresa Thomas. The Nordonia Hills Rotary Club assisted as well. During the 2020-21 school year, students discovered H20 for Life Schools when trying to get PURR water filters for Ms. Thomas. Students spearheaded a candy sale fundraiser and raised over $2,200. This project has become an annual tradition with over $7600 having been raised since 2017, and students will once again drive a school-wide candy sale to raise funds to support a project of their choice.

St. Christopher School

Each year, we encourage our students to become involved in a charitable service project to foster activism within the global community. Our first year, we decided to direct our efforts towards a charity that directly benefits children, so we signed on to help raise funds for Ecole Mixte Action Fraternelle in Haiti. Our students rose to the challenge and exceeded their fundraising goal. As our continued hope, is to foster a sense of responsibility and fellowship with others in their age group who do not have access to the same basic necessities of daily life, we have decided to take on an entire project on our own this year. Two years ago, we decided to sponsor a well in South Sudan. We encouraged community outreach, by sending student groups to local business and fellowship groups to explain our cause and solicit financial support. There were additional fundraising and educational opportunities throughout the year. Again, our students surpassed the goal. last year we again sponsored a school in Haiti, while also supporting parish relief efforts in Puerto Rico, and greatly surpassed our goal. This year, we will focus our efforts for maintenance to a well and water supply in the Dominican Republic. This will help keep the water clean and flowing at a school with a large Haitian population. Our 6th, 7th and 8th graders will participate in a walk in June to “put themselves in the shoes” of those for whom water is not easily accessible. We will also be including the primary grades, by having them complete an abbreviated walk.

St. Clare Walker Middle School

As part of a county where many of our residents live or work on the water, we know the importance of clean water. This project will not only help our students learn about and educate others on the importance of clean water, but will also allow our students, teachers, and members of the community to collaborate while raising money for a great cause.
