BRYAN EATON/Staff Photo. Elizabeth Carroll, left, and Ellen Mensale talk to Nock Middle School students, many dressed in blue, for Blue Day, a school wide celebration of A Long Walk To Service. For the past three years, the sixth grade students have been examining the global water crisis through a multi-disciplinary unit of study built around the novel A Long Walk to Water. To empower students to take action on problems affecting their communities, the school has participated in service projects including walk-a-thons and shoe collections (over 7000 shoes were collected). As a part of this civic engagement, our current eighth grade class has succeeded in funding the drilling of a well in South Sudan.
