"I am a proud Kindergarten Teacher in an all Kindergarten school with 23 classrooms teeming full of excited and eager five and six year olds! Seventy percent of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch and our school population is over 40% Spanish-speaking.

With Recycling and Environmental concerns being at the forefront of the news these days, I realized that my little boys and girls are not too young to learn about these issues and the impact they can have on our wonderful planet Earth.

These resources will introduce my children to the basic principles of water. They will incorporate the vital role the students can play in conserving water. The children will experiment with properties of water. My hopes would be they can gain an enthusiasm that will rub off on their family!

With your financial support, these important items can make their way into our classroom this school year. Included in this proposal are two water-related math and literacy games that we can use to integrate the water conservation theme into all areas of our day.

My students need the Water Science Tubs and the other water-related activities to introduce them to water and raise their awareness of water conservation.

Dear RBC Blue Water Project, 

Oh my gracious! My students and I are VERY excited to hear that this awesome grant has been funded!

It is a cold day and I am assessing like crazy and I am still sick, but this just made my day!!! What great news. Thanks so much for your generosity. Have a Merry Christmas. God Bless You!!!

With gratitude,
Mrs. B.
