From a classroom dream to real-world impact β
Students who are now fourth graders at Dater launched their third-grade Profile Project with one big goal: to bring clean drinking water to a community in need.
Inspired by the book Thirst by Varsha Bajaj and their Profile Project, they partnered with The Forefront Organization to help make that dream a reality. Today, a well stands in Valabhapuram, a rural village in Andhra Pradesh, India, providing clean water to hundreds of people.
While the project was led by Shea and Brynn, they made sure it was credited to Mary A. Hubbard Schoolβbecause it truly took teamwork. From helping hands at events to cheering them on, this was a school-wide effort powered by empathy and action.
