We are Global Citizens!

OLHMS students helped provide clean, safe water for over 600 children in Tanzania…for an entire year!

On May 1 and May 2, teachers from three different classes connected their curriculum with a hands on project that allowed the students to take action on a current issue. 

Global studies students are learning to be active global citizens, while 8th grade science students researched the current water crisis around the world, and social studies students researched a variety of crisis' that exist in the world.  They were asked to write their own version of "I Have A Dream" speech, and together, the students took on the 'Students Rebuild Water Challenge' to help the children of Tanzania.
