West Des Moines 4th grade project

Mrs. Rohwers 4th grade classrooms decided to partner with HealthEd Connect on a character development project.  One of the classes is shown in the photo holding the posters they made for the children of the schools in Kasompe (near Chingola) and Chipulukusu (near Ndola) Zambia, Africa demonstrating in pictures and words the characters of 'Respect' and 'Responsibility'.

The children learned about the kids in Africa through a class presentation made by Braedon Kirkpatrick.  The pictures will be tucked into the trunk accompanying the team on January 3 and will be presented to the children in the Zambian schools.  Pictures will be taken of the children in Zambia and sent back to the 4th grade classes in West Des Moines.  Friendship,caring and new awareness now stretches around the world.  What fun!!
