Mrs. Jost's 7th Grade Language Arts Skypes with Dean Dahlsten

7th graders in Mrs. Jost's class are reading the book "A Long Walk to Water".  


"Two young people in Sudan. One is Nya, who walks to fetch the water for her family twice a day, every day - to a pond that is two hours from their village. The other is Salva, who is walking away from his war-torn village to find safety, and to try to reunite with his family. His journey will take several years, across Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya. Theirs are two very different journeys of survival that will intersect in a heartwarming and remarkable way."


Dean Dahlsten, a recent grad of Hesston High School and 
son of HHS Math teacher Mark Dahlsten traveled to Kenya for a water filtration project.
Dean Skyped in with our students to talk about his experience and answer questions.
