Children of Arusha Project


It seemed fitting that we should take advantage of learning about the geography of Africa, poverty, cultural diversity, humanitarian relief, language, currency exchange, budgeting and about 50 other elements of the Core Curriculum while Luke Johnson is working in Africa these past few months.

Congratulations to the children of Arusha and for the children of Riverside's Grade 6 for their fine work in making the world a better place.

Through making and selling bracelets and baking and selling nutritious food, and communicating with Luke and, most especially, with love and generosity, the class raised $500 for this project.

Water, Water, Everywhere...
Riverside's 6th grade created our own watershed in our classroom. We will be studying how humans can effect a watershed, what the health of our own watershed is according to our own macro-invertebrate studies, and begin an ongoing project to protect our watershed.
