The 6th grade science students at Pioneer Middle School have been learning about the impact of human activities on the land, water, atmosphere and environment. In the spirit of activism, the students planned a fundraiser to support Charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe water to people around the world.

They took on this task with great enthusiasm. The students researched the organization to learn more about the projects and impact of Charity: water. Next, they designed and created colorful and bold posters to educate and promote our fundraiser. To further their creativity, students brought in empty plastic containers varying from empty detergent containers to pretzel barrels to collect donations from every homebase.
