Good Things

Since I am not at school for a few days, let's hear your good things on the blog.  Post it here.  Remember, it needs to be positive things going on in your life.  Here is mine.

My brother-in-law finished his first Iron Man Triathlon in Cozumel, Mexico this weekend.  He finished the race in just over 12 hours.  He swam 2.3 miles, biked 100 miles, and ran 26 miles.  Now that is a race.  I would have died after the first 20 minutes in the ocean.

Let's hear your good things.

Looking forward to seeing you on Friday.

Creek Water to Drinking Water

For the next month, students will be making daily trips to the local creek to gather water.  Students have created a biosand water filter that they are testing out.  It takes 2+ weeks for the biological layer of the filter to become established.  Once established, this layer will clean the bad bacteria that is found in the creek water.  Students have been working hard on this project and have been having fun along the way.

Our annual Haiti fundraiser is starting soon (March 23 - March 30). Students will be encouraged to find ways to help the people in Haiti. Students have already learned that Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Students at Sparta Middle School have been raising money for Haiti for the past eight years. Over this time, students have raised $13,144.85 for Haiti. There are two main organizations that our efforts support. The first is the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). Through UMCOR, we support the Haiti Hot Lunch Program. The second organization that we support is Pure Water for the World.
