Minnow Tank Winners
WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN—A small, rural school in Ghana is getting $600 toward a clean water project thanks to the recent efforts of four Willow Lane Elementary fourth graders.
Alden Chang, Bryelle Cooper, Denver Delaney and Macie Werner won first place for their presentation urging a panel of five judges to support White Bear Lake-based nonprofit H2O for Life.
“They have a water crisis there, so they need help to get clean water,” Delaney said of the Ghanian school, Dodome Awiesu Community School.
The team, dubbed “The Water Warriors,” was one of 10 groups of fourth graders who participated in the second annual Minnow Tank project Nov. 15. The project is a partnership between the White Bear Lake Rotary Club and the school. Go Bears!
