    Hi Mrs.Sparks!
    Its Cameron Wang from Mrs.Price's class.
    I can't believe that people around the world can't have clean water to use! Are people distributing Pure to all the countries that don't have clean water?

    Cameron, there are many people who are involved in helping the countries and the people who are struggling with water issues. Unfortunately it is a very large problem and is not easily fixed.

A Day Without Shoes - April 5 and 6

Children in developing countries often grow up barefoot. Many are not allowed to attend school without shoes and they are often injured or exposed to harmful minerals, which can lead to serious medical conditions. On April 5th and 6th you will have the opportunity to go barefoot during social studies class to help raise awareness of what children in developing countries face everyday. While it might sound like fun to go without shoes during class, think about what it would be like if you had to go barefoot for miles while you walk to school, get clean water or find medical help. Click here for more information:  A Day Without Shoes .  Go to Events, Find an Event, Barefoot Learning at Eubanks, if you would like to sign up.
