Our+Evaluation

I n the last three weeks of school we managed to raise the money for the ecodome toilet Yay! There were more exciting developments though, read on :)

1. Bottles and Can Drive. This was more difficult than we first anticipated. On day 1 we only recieved 1 can so we knew we had to advertise more. We made a school wide announcement every day after that and managed to collect over 5000 cans raising over $500. We collected every morning and spent the first class of the day counting, cleaning and organizing them. This was tough as we had assessments to do and it was also messy and nosiy. It was also hard getting them all recycled, if we do it again we would ask the PTSA for help.

2. Wikiseat Auction We really struggled to figure out a way to do an online auction at first but then we figured out that we could use the wiki page to do it. The night we set up the viewing was awesome, it was great to see the creativity of everybody else on the 5/6 team.Our team alone raised $375 with the seats and we have yet to find out how much the other teams raised with theirs.Check out our auction page []

3. Jewelry We collected over 2000 cards from local businesses which was good but we only had one disc cutter so it took a long time to cut out the circles for the bracelets.Actually making the bracelets took a long time with split rings so we changed to regular rings.We got a lot of orders and spent nearly every lunch time making the orders. We were still making and delivering them on the last day of school !We met with a jewelry store buyer in Birmingham and she is giving us a table at a street event in the summer which is awesome.She asked us to develop a Winter Range and we are meeting with her again in September so that she can decide whether or not she would like to buy them and sell them in her store. We also figured out how to make Guitar Plecks and the guitar store is testing one out to see if they want to buy some.

We are thrilled to have reached our goal but even more exciting was the fact that our principal got so excited about the project hat he wants the whole school to get involved and help raise $12,000 for a two wheel tractor which will help the economy of the village we have adopted. He wants teachers and students to visit the village and develop a long term relationship so we can monitor the impact of our help over a long period of time. Overall, we deem our 10th and final Mission a success! We are H2O Heroes !!!

The journey continues as we aim to become H2O SUPERHEROS! Follow along on our journey to SUPERHERO status here:
