Little Miami High School junior, Andrew Waits, visited the Little Miami Kindergarten Annex on Dec. 6 to demonstrate how PUR tablets can make drinking water safe for families in Central America who do not have access to clean water. This project was initiated and led by Andrew Waits in conjunction with other students in the High School’s Spanish National Honor Society. Waits joined with Procter and Gamble’s "Children's Safe Drinking Water" program, to raise money to send PUR water packets to families in Central America.
A “Penny War” was conducted in the Kindergarten building, which raised $809.81 in only two weeks! After a bake sale at the High School and other contributions, the total donations raised equaled $1,272.09. This is enough money to purify over 30,000 gallons of water for unfortunate families in developing countries! The top two winning classes raised approximately $150 each and were rewarded with a popcorn party in their classrooms on January 11, 2008.
Winning Kindergarten Class: Mrs. Ison ($150.42)
Second Place Kindergarten Class: Mrs. Edwards ($146.33)
