SJS Students Caring About Others

Rainforest Flow Project a Success!
SJS students in grades Pre-K through 8th grade just completed a month-long fundraising project to help bring potable water to the Peruvian Rainforests. At an assembly kicking off the project in late March, Nancy Santullo (a St. Paul HS grad) described the conditions in Peru and the effects that contaminated water has on the children and families who live there. Her PowerPoint presentation gave a visual tour of the river boat ride that volunteers take through the rainforest to reach these villages, as well as the progress that Rainforest Flow has made in bringing safe drinking water and sanitation systems, as well as strides made in educating families about health and hygiene practices to prevent chronic diseases .
Her words and the presentation caught the imaginations of the children at SJS who were more than willing to help. A lively competition among the classes took place with each student asked to fill as many water bottles as they could with loose change. The SJS Junior National Honor Society coordinated the effort in the school and a chart tracking each class's progress added to the lively competition. SJS parent, Tina Cianchetti, spread support for this project to Lincoln Tech. Their students, staff and faculty also donated change to a giant water bottle in the lobby over the course of several weeks.
In total the SJS children raised $2500 with Lincoln Tech adding $350 to the cause. Thank you to all who participated in this global community service project and congratulations to the 3rd grade class who brought in the most bottles. Rainforest Flow will provide the 3rd graders with a special make-your-own cupcake party on Friday May 24th to thank them for their outstanding effort.
