Keep bringing in your soda tabs!! All money raised will go towards the 8th grade science fundraiser, H2O for Life.
8th Grade Science Fundraiser
During science in 8th grade at RMS, students have been learning about fresh water resources. They’ve learned about where it comes from, how water gets treated so it’s safe to drink, and how we (society) can conserve water and limit pollution. Did you know that in many areas throughout our world, children and families do not have access to safe and clean water? As a result, the 8th grade class voted and decided to participate in a fundraiser called H2O for Life, which helps provide clean water and resources to schools around the world who are in need!
Eighth graders are currently hoping to meet their fundraising goal of $1,000. This money will go to a small community “school” (it’s actually just a room in a community member’s home used for school) called El Trapiche in Nicaragua. The money raised will provide kindergarteners at El Trapiche with restrooms and hand washing stations, as well as teaching them about proper hand washing and sanitation.
Please help us reach our goal! You can donate directly by visiting our webpage located at and clicking on the red “Donate” button. Donations may be also dropped off at RMS in a clearly marked envelope. Thank you for supporting us and helping us make a change in our world!
