Newburyport: Nock Middle School students Katherine Larson, left, and Tiegan Trach, both 11, try to balance jugs of water on their heads like some Sudanese who carry water back home from a well. The students have been reading "Long Walk to Water" where "The Lost Boy of Sudan" Salva Dut has been trying to help his countrymen get access to running water. Bryan Eaton/Staff Photo
